![["Senator Henry Jackson has been working on Indian affairs for 33 years in Congress and believes there is no simple solution to the issues facing Native Americans. He has pushed for legislation to provide financial assistance and support for economic and industrial development for tribes. Jackson believes that Congress should focus on areas of special need for Indians and allow them to chart their own destiny. He has also worked on reforming the federal aid system for Indian education and land claim judgments. Jackson's influence on Indian problems has been considerable, and he believes that investing in key areas and allowing tribes to run their own programs is the best way to address their needs."]](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_9_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Senator Henry Jackson's Vision for Indian Affairs: Empowerment, Not Blueprint")
