Effects of Skiatook and Candy Lake Projects on Osage Indian Tribe Mineral Ownership
This text is a memorandum discussing a meeting held between representatives of the Osage Indian Tribe and the Army Civil Works regarding the construction of the Skiatook and Candy Lake Projects. The Osage Tribe expressed concerns about the projects impact on the mineral ownership of the tribe and argued that the oil and gas reserves in the affected areas had not been adequately recognized. They provided figures that differed greatly from the Corps estimates of the reserves. The memorandum also discusses the need for further support from the Corps to justify their position and suggests two possible courses of action. The text also mentions the potential loss in revenue and damages if the lakes are built.
