Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (hereinafter called BIA) is the oldest bureau of the United States Department of the Interior. Established in 1824, BIA currently provides services to approximately two million American Indians and Alaska Natives. There are 574 federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives in the United States. The mission of the Bureau of Indian Affairs is to: "... enhance the quality of life, to promote economic opportunity, and to carry out the responsibility to protect and improve the trust assets of American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives." BIA has responsibility for the administration and management of 55 million surface acres and 57 million acres of subsurface minerals estates held in trust by the United States for American Indian, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives. BIA serves a special role, both serving tribes through trust management and by providing technical support and advice across a broad range of topics. The BIA is also the lead agency providing for federal management of the trust corpus held on behalf of tribal government and individual beneficial owners and as such is tasked with coordinating science, technical education, and management needs for those trust resources. The tribes, through the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (Pub. L. 93-638), are authorized to contract BIA management functions and as such mission needs, research results, and education efforts serve and enable tribal and BIA staff. The Act also authorized the federal government to follow specific contracting regulations for Recognized Federal Indian Tribes, and with tribal approval, tribally chartered Indian colleges and universities. BIA participation in the CESU Network will include support, coordination, and cooperation focused on science and education for climate and trust resource management, as well as other areas within its range of mission-related services and activities. BIA is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements under the general authority for climate change via the Xxxxxx Act of 1921, as amended, 25 U.S.C. § 13; for FY14 (2-year funding) via Pub. L. 113-76, and FY15 (2-year funding) via Pub.
