The BIA Hearings: Assigning Responsibility for the Takeover of the BIA Building
The text describes a series of hearings held by the Indian Affairs Subcommittee in December 1972, in the wake of a standoff at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) building. The hearings were intended to determine who was responsible for the events at the BIA, but instead revealed that everyone was trying to pass the buck. The decision was made to provide travel funds for the Indians involved, in order to avoid further violence.
