Agencies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Colorado
NOTE: The wiki links still work, but the pages are very old and need updates

Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. Many of the records of genealogical value were created by these offices.
