Indian Relief Project, McCurtain, Oklahoma, June 18, 1934
Add to SetSummary
The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 extended New Deal "relief" programs to Indigenous nations. Yet, members of the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma, forcefully relocated there during the 1830s, did not have access to these services. Only after the passage of the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act of 1936 did members of these tribes receive the benefits from the "Indian New Deal."
