The bill relates to a treaty from 1865 where the Osages agreed to sell their land to the US in exchange for a sum of money. The court found that the Osages did not fully understand the treaty and protested when they learned that the proceeds were being used for other tribes. A bill to reimburse the Osages for this discrepancy has been introduced in Congress. The Secretary recommends a direct appropriation to avoid delays and expenses associated with court action.

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.
