![["The Smithville housing project in Oklahoma involves Indian families contributing sweat equity to build their own homes with the help of IBEC. The project aims to provide modern housing for low-income families, with individuals receiving credit for their labor. The homes offer a variety of designs and materials, with the Choctaw Nation's Housing Authority overseeing the project. This initiative allows families to own homes through hard work and mutual assistance."]](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_25_0000-Housing%20and%20Urban%20Development-Indian%20Housing,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_25_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Smithville Choctaw Housing Project: Sweat Equity for Indian Families")

The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma is requesting a public conference on the matter to ensure that Indian leaders have the opportunity to express their views. The Council believes that the Department of the Interior is better suited to manage Indian affairs and that any transfer should be done with the consent of the Indians. The documents are addressed to various government officials, including President Lyndon B. Johnson and Congressman Carl Albert, urging them to consider the Council's resolution."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Resolution Against Proposed Transfer of Bureau of Indian Affairs")

Only the Service Unit Director or their designee can deny services, and appeals can be made to the Indian Health Area Director.

![["The Department of the Interior has recommended the enactment of Federal legislation to establish a special three-judge Federal District Court to settle a boundary dispute between the Navajo and Ute Mountain Indian Tribes in New Mexico. The disputed area is a strip of land near the Colorado border, and millions of dollars are at stake. The dispute arose from conflicting treaties and acts defining the boundaries of the tribes' territories. The disagreement became more prominent with the discovery of oil in the area. Both tribes entered into a joint leasing agreement, but a supplemental agreement in 1965 removed the disputed strip from the agreement. The legislation being considered would allow for a three-judge court to decide the case with the right of direct appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The Department of the Interior recommended an amendment to clarify that the United States is not a party in the litigation but consents to the settlement of the dispute between the two tribes."]](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_40_0000-Interior-Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs-Data,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_40_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Interior Department Recommends Legislation to Settle Boundary Dispute Between Navajo and Ute Mountain Tribes")
