Bureau of Indian Education

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is responsible for the education of approximately 41,051 American Indian and Alaska Native children at 183 elementary and secondary schools on 64 reservations in 23 states.^[1]

The Bureau of Indian Education also oversees two post-secondary schools, Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.^[2] The latter, however, lost accreditation in July 2010 and has been designated a "candidate" by the Higher Learning Commission.^[3]
