![["H.V. Chadwick, a DIH Executive Officer, spoke at a meeting in Oklahoma in 1967, expressing gratitude for the cooperation of the Creek Tribe in improving the health program for Native Americans. He highlighted recent changes and improvements in the Oklahoma Area Indian Health operation, including new leadership appointments, policy changes, and training programs for dental assistants. Chadwick also cited statistics showing significant improvements in health outcomes for Native Americans over the past decade, largely attributed to legislation providing water and waste disposal facilities. The Public Health Service has been working with various agencies and tribal groups to improve housing for Indian communities as well."]](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_12_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Health-Sula%20Goodman,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_12_0050_thumbnail.jpg "Improvements in Indian Health: Achievements and Progress in Oklahoma")

![["Representative Carl Albert spoke in support of a $64,000 item in the Interior Appropriation Bill for the Public Health Service Indian Hospital at Talihina, Oklahoma. The funds will be used for consolidating shop space and constructing a new incinerator. The hospital serves as a primary health resource for members of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians in Southeastern Oklahoma and is in need of modernization and expansion to meet current program needs. The $64,000 is necessary for making some of the most needed improvements at the hospital, including the construction of the new incinerator and consolidation of shop space. Representative Albert hopes the funds will not be eliminated from the appropriation bill."]](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_15_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Hospital,%20Talihina,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_15_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Improvements Needed: Public Health Service Indian Hospital at Talihina, Oklahoma")
![["The proposal to modernize the Public Health Service Indian Hospital in Talihina, Oklahoma includes major functional rearrangements, expansion of departments, and the addition of 100 GM&S beds.

![["The document to the editor expresses frustration with the way tribal affairs are being conducted for the Creek Tribe, with decisions being made by leaders not representative of the Creek Indians themselves. The writer criticizes the lack of tribal council approval for proposals, the limited authority of the Advisory Committee, and the neglect of poverty areas within the Creek Nation. The document also questions the allocation of funds, specifically mentioning a discrepancy in a recent payment to Creek Indians in Alabama. The writer calls for transparency in tribal affairs and vows to continue advocating for the rights and well-being of the Creek people."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Injustice and Activism: A Letter from Frances Wilson")
