Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_42_0005
The report discusses a bill authorizing an appropriation for the Osage Tribe of Indians on account of their lands sold by the United States. It outlines the history of how the Osage tribe was cheated out of their land and the misuse of funds by the government. The Court of Claims reviewed the case and found in favor of the Osage tribe, stating that the United States acted in bad faith and should provide just compensation. The report also addresses alleged offsets claimed by the government against the Osage tribe and other tribes. The Indians protested the treaty and the report recommends that the bill be passed without amendment.
