Bureau of Indian Education

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is a federal agency in the United States that oversees education for Native American students. It manages schools and educational programs primarily for Indigenous children living on or near reservations. BIE focuses on providing quality education, preserving Native cultures, and improving educational opportunities. The bureau works in partnership with tribes and local communities to ensure that schools meet both academic standards and cultural needs, promoting a holistic approach to learning that respects Indigenous traditions and language alongside regular curricula.
