Proposal for the Establishment of the Local Alcoholism Reception Center by the North Central Oklahoma Inter-Tribal Health Council1976-10-12unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_003_2_29_9_0006Alcoholism is a major problem among American Indians, with epidemic levels of alcohol abuse on reservations and in urban areas. The issue is considered to be five times worse among Indians than non-Indians in the United States, and nearly all Indians are affected by alcoholism in some way. A new regional alcoholism council for Indians has been formed to address the problem.
