He has been a long-time supporter of Indian rights and has been instrumental in passing legislation to improve education, healthcare, and federal aid for Indians. Despite being labeled an enemy of Indians in the past, Jackson has a strong record of advocating for and supporting Indian communities."]](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_0058_thumbnail.jpg "Solving Indian Problems: A Legislative Approach and Its Challenges")
