bility of very different methods and approaches required than either with 

 other groups of Indians, or with whites; that one thoughtful and efficient 

 health program might work well on one reservation and fail miserably on 

 another because of the cultural and psychological differences of the two 

 Indian groups. For example, a health education program for the Chippewa 

 would have to have a different approach and appeal than one for the 

 Navaho, not only because of the cultural and psychological differences, but 

 also because of the difference in degree of acculturation. Even the transfer 

 itself could not be a blanket one. Some groups would be easily accommo- 

 dated into the prevailing health facilities of their particular state or county, 

 while some of the isolated tribes, particularly some in the Southwest, would 

 be left without health services because of the absence of non-federal facilities 

 in the immediate vicinit)'.
