According to the federal government, "The Department of the Interior manages public lands and minerals, national parks and wildlife refuges and upholds Federal trust responsibilities to Indian tribes and Native Alaskans. Additionally, Interior is responsible for endangered species conservation and other environmental conservation efforts." It was established in 1849 by the 30th Congress and its current secretary is Sally Jewell.
