Mount Pleasant Indian Agency (Michigan)

History
Mt. Pleasant Indian School and Agency, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan

Records
Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. 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 (for the tribe and tribal members) were created by and maintained by the agencies.

Many of the records for the Mt. Pleasant Indian School and Agency are held in NARA's Great Lakes Region (Chicago)
