The amendments would allow all original enrollees to receive a full per capita share, regardless of blood quantum, with the share of deceased enrollees going to heirs of Osage blood. The Osage Nation Organization proposes that all living persons with one-fourth Osage blood or more should share equally in the judgment. Non-Osage widows and adopted children are excluded. Additionally, the amendments would allow funds to be advanced for education and socio-economic programs for the Osage Tribe, and ensure that funds distributed per capita are not subject to federal or state income taxes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_10_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Osage%20Tribe%20Bill%20(to%20Amend%20Certain%20Acts%20Relating%20to%20Tribal%20and%20Individual%20Affairs)%20-%20H.R.%207093,%20Osage%20Judgment,%201969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_10_0004_thumbnail.jpg "\"Proposed Amendments to H.R. 7093 Regarding the Distribution of Osage Tribe Lands and Funds\"")

The Indian Claims Commission upheld the Indians' claim to approximately 130,000 acres of land, with 50,000 acres being discussed for conveyance to the Indians. The legislation would transfer the entire Blue Lake Area to Taos Pueblo by trust patent to protect their religious practices and cultural heritage. The Pueblo Council argues that ownership of the land is necessary to preserve their religious privacy and natural ecology, as well as to advance the welfare of their community.
