![["Senator Henry Bellmon announced that Oklahoma Indian tribes will receive an additional $900,000 for Head Start and Early Childhood Development programs. This funding was approved by the Health, Education, and Welfare Department after Bellmon complained about Oklahoma Indians being omitted from federal programs. The extra money is aimed at improving education and reducing unemployment among tribal members. The funds will be officially announced next week, and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare intends to provide the necessary funds for Oklahoma tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_7_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Head%20Start,%201978%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Apr.,%201978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_7_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Oklahoma Indian Tribes to Receive $900,000 in Additional Aid for Early Childhood Programs, Announces Senator Bellmon")
![["The document from Will T. Nelson to Charles L. Ward addresses the mistreatment of Native Americans, specifically the Choctaw tribe, and criticizes Representative Carl Albert's support of the current power structure within the tribe. Nelson mentions attending a meeting where the unfair treatment of the Choctaws was discussed and expresses concerns about potential election fraud. He also mentions editing a book for the Choctaw tribe and sends Ward a copy of the Oklahoma City Indian Calendar. Nelson emphasizes the need for justice for the Choctaw people and highlights the political issues surrounding their treatment."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_111_37_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Choctaw,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_111_37_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Honoring the First Goodwill Ambassador for the Choctaws")
