![["The document discusses the findings of fact in Case B-38 in the Court of Claims regarding a treaty signed with the Osage Nation in 1865. The Osage chiefs who signed the treaty were full-blood blanket Indians who did not speak English, and the negotiations were conducted through interpreters. The Osages believed the \"civilization fund\" created by the treaty would benefit only their tribe, but the funds were used for the benefit of other tribes as well. The Osages protested against this interpretation and sought relief through Congress. Ultimately, only a small portion of the funds were used for the Osage tribe, and the rest was returned to the Treasury."]](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_0005_thumbnail.jpg "The Osage Treaty of 1865: Injustice and Discontent")
![["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 letter is from William B. Burgess to Senator Thomas regarding a land sale issue involving the Otoe and Missouria tribes of Indians.
