Correspondence on the Reduction of the Indian Home Economics Program in Oklahoma, 1966-04-12

The letter from Mrs. Norman Hiatt to Congressman Page Belcher expresses concern about the reduction of the Indian Home Economics program in Oklahoma due to funding limitations. The Bureau of Indian Affairs explains that the reduction was necessary to prioritize housing programs, but some funding has been restored for the Extension program in Oklahoma. Mrs. Hiatt is worried about the impact of the reduction on Indian people who rely on the services provided by the Home Demonstration and Farm agents. The letter highlights the importance of these programs in helping Indian people improve their living conditions and skills.
