{{Quote|They are lazy, drug addicts, and alcoholics who rely on the government to survive.|A racist stigma theory projected by the BIA.}}

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.

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. ~~Plus~~, 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.
