Indian agency
Federal office under the authority of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, supervised by a presidentially appointed civilian agent to serve Indian tribes.[1]
The agencies were scattered across the West, on or near Indian reservations or Indian lands, established to monitor trade with Indian tribes, to offer aid, assistance and supplies to the Indians, and to report violations of treaty.[2]
Stage West: In 1875, Simmons, the passenger agent at the Packsaddle Station[4] on the Tomah Stage route in Nebraska[5] had few visitors other than the agency stage.[4] The agency nearest along the stage route was the Spotted Tail Agency to the west. Established in 1873 on Beaver Creek, it maintained storehouses, an issue building, a carpentry shop, a sawmill, stables, and other structures to serve the Brulé Sioux.[6] Further to the west was the Red Cloud Agency, established in 1874 to serve the Oglala Sioux.[7]
