The response from the Bureau of Indian Affairs acknowledges the issue and explains that a commission has been established to review the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes in order to recommend necessary changes. The Bureau agrees that the take-overs are wrong and should not be permitted, but also emphasizes the need for prudent action to prevent bloodshed. Text
