Letter from Doug Martin to James R. Jones Regarding The Skiatook Lake Project
The letter is from Doug Martin to Congressman James R. Jones regarding the Skiatook Lake project. Martin suggests that the Osage Tribe trade their royalty interests from the lake for a surcharge on every gallon of water sold from the lake. He also proposes that the Osage Tribe retain a 3/16th on any future oil/gas produced from the lake land. Martin suggests compensating the Osage Tribe for lost revenue by building a resort and leasing land and the surface of the lake to them. He also mentions the need for restructuring the Osage Tribes tribal structure. Martin acknowledges that his suggestions may not be well-received by the Osage Tribe but believes they are worth considering.
