![["The Secretary of the Interior is responding to a request for a report on a bill authorizing an appropriation for payment to the Osage Tribe of Indians for land sold by the United States. The bill relates to a treaty from 1865 where the Osages agreed to sell their land to the US in exchange for a sum of money. The court found that the Osages did not fully understand the treaty and protested when they learned that the proceeds were being used for other tribes. A bill to reimburse the Osages for this discrepancy has been introduced in Congress. The Secretary recommends a direct appropriation to avoid delays and expenses associated with court action."]](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_44_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Reimbursement for the Osage Tribe: A Call for Justice")

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.
