Anchorage Indian Agency (Alaska)

The Anchorage Agency is a currently operating agency of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Its supervising office is the Juneau Area Office.

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 these offices.

A few records of the Anchorage Agency are in the Pacific Alaska Regional Archives of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Anchorage.
