What was the purpose of the bureau of indian affairs? to manage reservations to provide trails for trappers to negotiate with homesteaders to assimilate native peoples?

Answer 1

To manage reservations is the answer. A

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) To manage reservations.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, there were several situations in which Native American tribes and the federal government fought over reservation land. To settle these disputes and to monitor the reservations, the federal government created the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This would shape the relationship between the US government and different tribes of American Indians for decades.
