The project includes three phases: an Experimental Employment Program to provide jobs and training, a Human Resources Development Program to improve education and training opportunities, and a New Employment Opportunities Program focusing on developing fish farming and activated carbon industries. The goal is to improve the economy and provide job opportunities for the people in the area."]](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_63_39_0000-Interior-Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs-Chief,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_39_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Revitalizing Eastern Oklahoma: A Three-Phase Development Project")

![["La Donna Harris, the wife of Senator Fred R. Harris, is actively involved in advocating for American Indians through her organization Americans for Indian Opportunity. Despite her efforts, there has been a lack of response from the government, leading to frustration and a decision to step down from the National Council on Indian Opportunity. Harris is determined to push for action and change, even if it means being more assertive towards the administration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Clippings,%20July,%201967-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0081_thumbnail.jpg "La Donna Harris: A Senate Wife Championing the American Indian Cause")
