Calhoun on March 11, 1824, to oversee and carry out the Federal government's trade and treaty relations with the tribes. Congress gave the BIA statutory authority by the act of July 9, 1832 (4 Stat. 564, chap. 174). In 1849, the BIA was transferred to the newly created U.S. Department of the Interior. For years thereafter, the Bureau was known variously as the Indian office, the Indian bureau, the Indian department, and the Indian Service. The Interior Department formally adopted the name "Bureau of Indian Affairs" for the agency on September 17, 1947. The BIA carries out its core mission to serve 566 Federally recognized tribes through four offices: the Office of Indian Services; the Office of Justice Services; the Office of Trust Services; the Office of Field Operations) <http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/BIA/index.htm> |
