Legislation including the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act and the Snyder Act are the bases on which the IHS was founded.

This group works with American natives and is a Federal agency so its conceptions of disaster and healthcare are politically based. This group's benefits focus on the needs of the native population assessed by information collected through the U.S. Census and other surveys.
