- Description:
- There are 5,584 students in Osage County schools, with 30.1% being Indian students. This means there are at least 1,680 Indian students in need of a dental clinic. Additionally, all adults and pre-school children will also need dental care. The Osage Tribe spent $24,000 on eyeglasses and dental care for all Indians, not just tribal members, in the past year. This information is being submitted for study along with maps and other materials.
