Tribes and Bands of STATE

When a tribe or group is federally recognized it is eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). When a state establishes state tribal recognition, it acknowledges the tribes status within the state, but does not guarantee funding from either the state or the federal government. When a tribe is recognized by the federal government, it can also be recognized by the state, but not all state recognized tribes are necessarily recognized by the federal government.

For an current list of Federal and State Recognized Tribes, see List of federally recognized tribes by state and State-recognized tribes in the United States at Wikipedia.

Agencies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in STATE

• See Agencies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs for more resources.

Agency Records

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 local office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs was charged with maintaining records of the activities of those under their responsibility. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. Some records may be available to tribal members through the tribal headquarters. The BIA agency for STATE is the NAMEOFOFFICE Office, [URL BIA].
