The '''Bureau of Indian Affairs''' ('''BIA''') is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. It regulates the affairs of Native American nations in the United States and is responsible for many human rights violations of Native Americans living on reservations. The BIA has been characterized by some as one of the United States' most grossly irresponsible federal agencies.

Ever since its establishment in 1824, the BIA has been regulating federal policies on Native American tribes throughout the United States and having control over their lands through federal trusts. The BIA was responsible for the forced removal of Native Americans to reservations and also implemented assimilation policies projected onto Native Americans, from removing children from their families to attend schools to forcibly relocating tribal members to cities.

The BIA also used Indian agents to interact with Native Americans on behalf of the government as well as to protect natives from settlers until that role was abolished during Teddy Roosevelt's presidency.

To this day, Native Americans are left as disadvantaged on their own lands due to a racist stigma theory projected by the BIA that portrays Amerindians as wards who are incapable of managing their own lands as well as being primitive socialists with no understanding of property rights, as their cultures are viewed as incompatible with market institutions. In addition, the 55 million acres of land on Native American reservations are held in trust by the federal government, which deprives the reservation residents of their rights to control their property, which leaves many reservations in a state of poverty.

The BIA also uses racist [[~~Blood Quantum|~~blood quantum]] laws to define a person's "Indianess" based on the degree of their native ancestry, which is an effective way to destroy indigenous communities based on race.
