The Bureau of Indian Affairs determined that there was no need for drilling on her land as there had been no development on adjoining lands that would warrant it. The report explained in detail the reasons for this decision. Mrs. Brown was informed that until deeper productive wells were discovered in the area, further development could not be required. Congressman Carl Albert assisted Mrs. Brown in obtaining this information and offered to help further if needed."]](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_33_29_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Cases,%201959/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_33_29_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Affairs: Removal of Land Restrictions")
![["The Executive Council of the National Congress of American Indians met in Washington, D.C. in March 1959 to discuss important issues facing American Indians. They expressed concerns about the termination of Federal protection for Indian tribes, the slow progress of land conservation efforts, lack of adequate funds for land purchase, difficulties in accessing credit, and challenges faced by Alaskan natives post-statehood. The Council also raised issues regarding delays in settling Indian claims against the United States. They urged for legislative action to address these issues and ensure the protection and well-being of Indian communities."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/86th%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_5_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_5_45_8B_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201958-1960/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_5_45_8B_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Summary of the Executive Council Meeting of the National Congress of American Indians in March 1959")

![["Edmund Youngbird, a Sanitarian for the United States Public Health Service, graduated from an advanced course in environmental sanitation for Indian reservations. The course, held in Arizona and New Mexico, provided more advanced training in the field than previously available in the Indian health program. Youngbird completed the training and returned to North Carolina. The course focused on water supply problems faced by Indians, with many rural homes lacking safe water supplies. Sanitarians are Indian employees who assist in reducing disease rates attributable to unfavorable environments. Better sanitation has led to a reduction in deaths from gastroenteric diseases among Indians, although the death rate is still higher than the population as a whole."]](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_33_38_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Health,%201959/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_33_38_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Health Concerns: Correspondence Regarding Indian Hospitals")
