Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. '''Many of the records of genealogical value (for the tribe and tribal members) were created by and maintained by the agencies'''. | |||

The 1900 federal census included population schedules for the Shevits Indians of Southern Utah. These schedules were not classified in the Bureau of Census records as a separate district, but were simply included in District 175, Santa Clara Precinct in Washington County, Utah. However, the Shevits Indians in this precinct were recorded on [[Indian Population Schedules -- 1900 United States Census|Indian Population Schedules]]. | The 1900 federal census included population schedules for the Shevits Indians of Southern Utah.
