BIA Records: Washington State

This guide is arranged geographically by state and thereunder contains a listing of tribes and bands living within that state’s borders. Under each entry for a tribe or band is a list of the BIA offices that had a jurisdictional relationship with that tribe, and for which the ÍþÄá˹ÈËÓéÀÖ³¡ holds records. The NARA facility that has records for that office is listed in parentheses next to the entry. We have provided direct links into the ÍþÄá˹ÈËÓéÀÖ³¡ Catalog whenever possible for each of these agencies, offices, and/or superintendencies. For each, the ÍþÄá˹ÈËÓéÀÖ³¡ Catalog has tallied the number of descriptions and series available. Note that the ÍþÄá˹ÈËÓéÀÖ³¡ Catalog may include multiple derivations of the agency's, office's, or superintendency's name.

It has been impossible to include the name of every subagency and special agency. The most significant omissions are the agencies and subagencies established during the early years of a superintendency, when agents were moved about without permanent assignments to a particular tribe or locality.
