![["The document report outlines the evaluation of the Rural Development Program of the Oklahomans for Indian Opportunity Program. The program has shown significant accomplishments, such as a brick manufacturing plant and a feeder pig co-operative. However, there are areas of concern that need to be addressed, including the program's external relationship with the community, its relationship with OIO statewide, and internal organizational aspects related to program planning, administrative organization, and project planning. These issues will be discussed in detail in the report."]](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_91_37_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Osage%20Agency,%201971/thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_91_37_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Eastern Oklahoma Indian Communities: OIO Rural Development Proposal")
