Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Bureau of Indian Affairs was created by Congress to oversee federal policy toward American Indians.

Explanation:

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is an agency subordinate to the Department of Interior that is responsible for the concerns of the Indians and their reservations. It was founded in 1824 and was still subordinate to the United States Department of War. In 1849 it was assigned to the newly created Department of the Interior.

According to its own data, the BIA looks after 567 Indian tribes recognized by the federal government, with 1.9 million members. The BIA manages 55 million acres (225,000 km²) of land on behalf of the Indian tribes. The office also operates or supports 128 schools and 28 universities and technical colleges.
