The restructuring has the approval of the White House and Interior Secretary. The move comes after Indian demonstrators took over the BIA building, causing damage and leading to the evacuation of employees. The BIA is also working on repairing the building and recovering important documents.

![["The damage caused by protesting Indians to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. was estimated to cost $2.5 million, making it one of the most extensive ever committed by U.S. citizens on a federal building. The damage included structural repairs, record restoration, art and artifacts, employee downtime, and more. The government's estimates have skyrocketed since the end of the five-day occupation. Prosecution of the Indians involved is threatened, with assurances of amnesty being discussed. The National Congress of American Indians denounced the destructive demonstration and accused the administration of deceit. The Justice Department is investigating the damage, and hearings will be held to consider the impact of the demonstration on Indian programs.
