Two Oklahoma Indians, Mrs. James M. Cox and the Cherokee Action Committee for Foster Children, are receiving awards from the Bureau of Indian Affairs for their contributions to foster care. The awards are part of National Action for Foster Children Week. Mrs. Cox developed a bill of rights for foster children and led a study on improving programs for children in foster care. The Cherokee Action Committee has also made significant efforts to support Indian children in need of foster care. The awards will be presented at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., featuring American Indian dancing and speeches from foster children. The purpose of the awards is to recognize Indian leaders who have made significant contributions to their communities.
