Scope and Contents

Oklahomans for Indian Opportunity Inc. is a non-profit organization working to improve conditions for Oklahoma Indians and integrate them into the economy and culture. They have developed various programs, including a Rural Development Program in eastern Oklahoma Indian communities. This program aims to show that Indian communities can successfully plan, develop, own, control, and operate their own economic enterprises. The target area includes two of the "Five Civilized Tribes" - the Choctaw and Cherokee Tribes. These tribes have faced historical injustices, including losing land and economic opportunities. OIO's program seeks to address these challenges and empower Indian communities in the region.
