![["The Honorable John C. Whitaker, Under Secretary of the Interior, spoke at a press conference regarding Indian affairs in 1973. He emphasized the importance of addressing Indian needs through legislation and funding, rather than through violence or negotiation at gunpoint. The Administration retransmitted seven key Indian affairs bills to Congress, aiming to provide support for Indian self-determination and economic development. Whitaker urged Congress to take action to support America's Indian population and achieve a new era of self-determination."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_7_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Wounded%20Knee,%201972-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_7_0002_thumbnail.jpg "\"Press Conference Statement by Under Secretary of the Interior on Indian Affairs and Proposed Legislation, March 16, 1973\"")
