Excerpt from Bureau of Indian Affairs Reorganization Act of 1995: Hearing Before the Committee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate; One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session on S. 814; To Provide for the Reorganization of the Bureau of Indian Affairs This hearing is the third hearing this committee has held on Eu reau of Indian Affairs [bia] reorganization. Throughout this proc ess, I've been very clear about my intention to move legislation which will substantial] reform the way the bia does business, and which reflects the goa s and objectives of Indian country. That is why I am disturbed by recent reports that the reductions mandated under the National Performance Review are proceeding without interruption despite the efforts of this committee to forge a cooper ative effort to reorganize the bia with Indian tribes, the Congress and the Administration.

Landmark legislation, such as the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, as well as increasing federal subsidies for Native Americans, growing demand for the energy resources located on the 50 million acres of Native American lands, expanding numbers of Native Americans and their interest groups, devastating reservation unemployment, and other factors have in the last decade radically changed the environment in which the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) operates. This book presents an up-to-date description and analysis of the BIA, including its missions, organization, functions, administration, problems, and decision-making and -implementing processes. Attention is given, too, to the often friction-laden interactions of the BIA and other governmental units (among them the Department of the Interior, Office of Management and Budget, Congress, the courts, Indian Health Service, and tribal, state, and local governments) with each other and with Indian interests. Abundant tables provide information on such topics as the 1980 Indian population and land by state, BIA budgets, and agricultural and mineral production on Indian lands. Dr. Taylor examines the current operations of the Bureau under the Reagan administration and explores possible policy decisions that will affect Native Americans as well as non-Indian citizens. The book includes a foreword by Phillip Martin, chief of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and president of the National Tribal Chairmen's Association.
