In 1975 alone, Indian Health Services permanently sterilized some 25,000 Native American

women--many after being coerced, misinformed, or threatened. The

population was drastically affected.

On September 8, 2000, the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)

formally apologized for the agency's participation in the "ethnic

cleansing" of Western tribes and the forced sterilization of Native women.
