What does the BIA provide services for?

How receptive are the Native Americans to the BIA?

I guess this depends on who you ask. They have arrested me 13 times for attempting to shoot BIA representatives (yeah I know I need more practice, but you should see them run and dodge - they must recruit football players). Some Native friends of mine just hit them and close the door (that clutters up my porch) - generally they need a few armed escorts when entering most reservations. I think the general consensus would be if all BIA members and representatives were tied to stakes in the hot sun, most of us would be nice enough not to piss on them - and even shoot a few of the nice ones to end the suffering (although a few I would slice with rusty razor blades).
