![["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 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 discusses the famous brick kiln decision made by Judge C.B. Kilgore in the United States Court for the southern district of the Indian Territory. The case involved a dispute between a brick maker named Brown and a firm of merchants named Robinson and Fields. Judge Kilgore ruled in favor of both parties, finding the merchants had a valid claim for goods and services provided, and also ruling in favor of Brown for the amount of bricks he claimed to have made. Kilgore also criticized the merchants for taking the law into their own hands and awarded additional bricks to Brown as compensation for their trespass. The case was eventually settled out of court."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Claude%20Weaver%20Collection,%201861-1953/Legal%20Career-CAC_CC_055_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0000-Indian%20Territory,%201895-1902/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0002_thumbnail.jpg "The Famous Brick Kiln Decision of Judge C.B.

![["This brief argues that the United States Court for the Indian Territory does not have jurisdiction over a case involving inter-married citizens and citizens by blood. The defendants claim that the original act of 1889 intended for Indian courts to have exclusive jurisdiction over such cases. The defendants also argue that a later act in 1890 repealed any jurisdiction the Muskogee Court may have had in such matters. They assert that the District Court of the Chickasaw Nation should have jurisdiction over the case in question. The brief criticizes the plaintiffs' counsel for omitting certain provisions of the relevant acts in their argument."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Claude%20Weaver%20Collection,%201861-1953/Legal%20Career-CAC_CC_055_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0000-Indian%20Territory,%201895-1902/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_055_2_2_2_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Jurisdictional Questions in United States Court for Indian Territory")
