Abstract
This article examines the changes that have taken place within Jicarilla Apache political organization during the 1950s and early 1960s. In their exposition of this theme, the authors present a thorough discussion of the role of the Agency of the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a potent political force within Jicarilla reservation history, which forms the foundation for a discussion of how tribal organization changed from its origins to a formal political force in 1937.The interrelations of government agency and tribal political organization forms a major part of the discussion in this paper.
