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.

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.

Youngbird completed the training and returned to North Carolina. The course focused on water supply problems faced by Indians, with many rural homes lacking safe water supplies. Sanitarians are Indian employees who assist in reducing disease rates attributable to unfavorable environments. Better sanitation has led to a reduction in deaths from gastroenteric diseases among Indians, although the death rate is still higher than the population as a whole.

Kilburn, and Albert Rains, are discussing proposed changes to the Housing Act of 1937 to allow Indian tribes in Oklahoma to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Governor of the Chickasaw Nation has recommended amendments to the act to eliminate discrimination against Oklahoma Indian Tribes. President Lyndon Johnson has also proposed expanding housing aid for low-income families as part of a campaign against poverty. The Task Force on Indian Affairs has recommended allowing Indian tribes to establish housing agencies and participate in the program. The current limitations on participation by Indian tribes in Oklahoma are seen as frustrating and unfair.

The Indian Claims Commission upheld the Indians' claim to approximately 130,000 acres of land, with 50,000 acres being discussed for conveyance to the Indians. The legislation would transfer the entire Blue Lake Area to Taos Pueblo by trust patent to protect their religious practices and cultural heritage. The Pueblo Council argues that ownership of the land is necessary to preserve their religious privacy and natural ecology, as well as to advance the welfare of their community. The Forest Service's administration of the area has been problematic, leading the Pueblo to seek return of the land.

It establishes a procedure for the election and authority of the Menominee Restoration Committee and authorizes the Committee to bring current the tribal roles closed by the termination act. The Act also allows for the conduct of elections among tribe members on tribal constitution and bylaws, with certain provisions for adoption and election of a governing body. The Act provides for the negotiation of tribal assumption of corporation assets and exempts transferred assets from taxation. It also addresses the management of tribal assets, hunting and fishing regulations, and federal financial assistance to local public schools for Menominee enrollees. The Secretary is authorized to adopt regulations and receive necessary funds to carry out the Act.

Testimony was taken from Menominee tribe members, state and local officials, Administration witnesses, and concerned non-Indian land owners. The Administration supported restoration due to the bleak future of the Menominee without it. State and local officials also supported the bill, with concerns about protecting non-Indian land owners' rights. Menominee witnesses supported restoration citing federal coercion, poverty, cultural problems, and economic burdens. The general public also supported restoration, believing it would repudiate past policies and support Indian self-determination. Non-Indian land owners expressed concerns about taxation, political power, and potential impacts of the legislation on their rights.

In 1938, funds were appropriated for the purchase of a reservation for the Pit River Indians, leading to the establishment of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation. However, there is a dispute over who should benefit from the reservation, with a small group known as the Pit River Home and Agricultural Cooperative Association monopolizing the land. This group has excluded other Pit River Indians from the reservation, leading to bitterness and resentment among the community. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has shown favoritism towards the Association, further exacerbating the dispute. There are also concerns about the lack of communication and resources provided to the broader Pit River Tribe. Overall, there is a complex and ongoing dispute over the ownership and management of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation.

Regionalization would also facilitate transfer of BIA education facilities to public school districts and potentially allow for local control of schools by Indian groups.

Despite the program's success, there has been a delay in renewing the contract for the upcoming school year. The delay is due to tribal politics and the inadequacies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' decision-making apparatus. The situation is further complicated by the actions of the local BIA Area Director. The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards is advocating for the renewal of Oyate's contract and requesting immediate action to avoid further delays.

She criticizes the BIA for listening to self-styled Indian leaders instead of elected reservation leaders, and expresses fear that the demands of the caravan "Trail of Broken Treaties" will lead to a shift in priorities away from reservations. She questions the actions of Commissioner Bruce and suggests that the BIA is being destroyed by its involvement with non-reservation Indians. Hooper calls for a focus on improving conditions on reservations and involving elected reservation leaders in decision-making.

The issue arose due to a lawsuit filed by the Kansas Delawares, leading to a Supreme Court decision that they were not entitled to share in the funds. Both the Oklahoma Delawares and the Kansas Delawares are seeking support from the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation for differing outcomes. The BIA had prepared to distribute the funds, but now must wait for the Supreme Court's decision on the Kansas Delawares' request for a rehearing. The exclusion of the Kansas Delawares was a result of strict eligibility criteria established by the Oklahoma Delawares to prevent delays in fund distribution. The memorandum also mentions upcoming meetings with tribal officials to discuss the issue further.
