![["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 document discusses the Osage Bill, which involves the unfair treatment of the Osage Indians by the United States government in the 1860s. The Osages were tricked into ceding their land in exchange for very little compensation, which was then used for other tribes. The document highlights the lack of communication and understanding between the Osages and the government, as well as the legal battles and protests that followed. The Court of Claims ruled in favor of the Indians, but legislative action on the issue has been unsuccessful. The document emphasizes the need for justice and fair treatment of Native American tribes by the government."]](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_0003_thumbnail.jpg "The Osage Bill: A History of Betrayal and Redemption")

![["Jack Cochrane, who presents himself as a watchdog of the Treasury against Indian claims, has been criticized for taking credit for the work done by the Court of Claims and the Supreme Court in limiting the amount of money awarded to Indian claimants.
