Senator Henry Jackson has been working on Indian affairs for 33 years in Congress and believes there is no one simple solution to the problems faced by Indigenous communities. He has worked on bills to provide loans and grants to tribes, prevent termination of tribes, and improve education and healthcare for Indians. Jackson believes that Congress should identify areas of special need for Indigenous communities and provide assistance accordingly. He also emphasizes the importance of allowing Indians to chart their own destiny and have control over their own programs. Senator Dewey Bartlett is also involved in Indian affairs and supports Jackson's efforts.
