![["The 1965 Annual Report of St. Augustine's Center for American Indians in Chicago highlights their casework program, which aided 913 Indian families and individuals, totaling 2,215 people. The center provided emergency cash assistance, groceries, clothing, job referrals, and scholarship assistance to members of over 50 different tribes. The report emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting the unique challenges faced by urban Indians and the role of indigenous leadership in the center's activities. The report also discusses the similarities in experiences shared by Indian newcomers to the city and other minority groups. Additionally, the report emphasizes the need for warm, mutual relationships between staff and clients to dissolve prevalent mistrust of Indians in the community."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Promoting Indian Education: Establishing the Institute at the University of Oklahoma")
