Despite efforts to tap into the Okemah City Water system, it was not possible due to city rulings. An alternative solution was proposed through the construction of the Okfuskee Rural Water District No. 2 line near his home. Senator Dewey F. Bartlett and Chief Claude Cox of the Creek Nation were involved in finding a solution to Hummingbird's water problem."]](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_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Water Woes: Seeking Assistance for David Hummingbird")

It also criticizes the lack of organization within the tribal government and the disregard for other views within the tribe.
