- Description:
- Senator Henry Bellmon announced that Oklahoma Indian tribes will receive an additional $900,000 for Head Start and Early Childhood Development programs. This funding was approved by the Health, Education, and Welfare Department after Bellmon complained about Oklahoma Indians being omitted from federal programs. The extra money is aimed at improving education and reducing unemployment among tribal members. The funds will be officially announced next week, and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare intends to provide the necessary funds for Oklahoma tribes.
