Public Health Service Indian sanitarians visited a sanitation project on the Kickapoo Tribe's land in Oklahoma, where safe water supply and waste disposal systems were installed. The project was a collaboration between the PHS and the tribe, with the tribe contributing funds and labor. The sanitarians were exchanging successful methods with each other to improve similar projects in the Oklahoma City Indian Health Area. The PHS has invested millions of dollars in such projects, with Indian contributions also significant. The goal is to provide safe water to more Indian families.
