![["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")

Page Belcher to a resolution sent by the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Tribal Business Committee regarding the removal of the United States' guardianship over Indians. The committee expressed their opposition to the passage of S. 401, a bill that would abolish the functions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and remove guardianship over Indians and trusteeship over Indian lands. They believe that the tribes are not yet ready for such a change due to disparities in health and business knowledge between tribal members and the non-Indian population.
