Identifier: ACCN 1125

Scope and Contents

The Bureau of Indian Affairs records (1880-1964) contain photocopies of supercessions and additions to the Bureau of Indian Affairs manual.

The supercessions and additions to the manual were the result of federal legislation to cut or supplement the Bureau of Indian Affairs budget. Also included are photocopies of correspondence and reports from various tribal agencies, including Paiute, Kaibab, Goshute, Shivwits, Panguitch, Uintah, and Ouray.
