The council adopted Resolution No. 18-117 to formalize their opposition and have sent copies to relevant government officials."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_59_0000-Indians,%201951/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_59_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Annexation of Osage County by Tulsa: A Resolution from the Osage Tribal Council")
