![["The Osage Tribe of Indians filed a claim against the United States for misappropriation of funds and failure to pay them under a treaty from 1865. The treaty was negotiated with limited language abilities of the Osages and the interpretation of the terms, particularly the \"civilization fund,\" was disputed. The Osages protested when they learned the fund was being used for other tribes and have been complaining and seeking legal assistance since then. The bone of contention is the language in the treaty regarding the sale of land and the creation of the civilization fund."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Dispute Over Osage Civilization Fund Treaty")
![["The document is a letter from George B. Schwabe, M.C. to Mr. V.A. Kingsbury acknowledging receipt of a letter regarding the drafting of 17 and 18 year old boys into the service and sending them overseas without much training. Schwabe expresses concern about this practice and provides a copy of a War Department release dated March 1, 1945 to explain the policy. He mentions making protests against the practice and believes that the boys could be used in a different way until they are more proficient and seasoned. Schwabe offers his assistance to Kingsbury and expresses his continued stance on the issue until convinced otherwise. The document also includes a letter from an unidentified individual to a judge expressing concern about sending 18 year old boys to the front lines with only four months of training."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_42_0000-Selective%20Service,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_42_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns about Drafting Young Soldiers into Service")
![["This bill provides for the final settlement of claims by Oklahoma Indian tribes against the Federal government, discharge of federal supervision over Oklahoma Indians, determination of heirs, disposal of federal property and records, and other purposes. It authorizes the payment of $3,000 to each enrolled Oklahoma Indian, removes restrictions on their lands and money, and directs the distribution of tribal money to members or their heirs. Failure to claim money within a specified time may result in transfer to the state of Oklahoma for distribution."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Final Settlement and Discharge of Federal Supervision over Oklahoma Indian Tribes")
