The Osage Bill: A History of Betrayal and Redemption, 1921-02-06 - 1921-02-06
The document discusses the Osage Bill, which involves the unfair treatment of the Osage Indians by the United States government in the 1860s. The Osages were tricked into ceding their land in exchange for very little compensation, which was then used for other tribes. The document highlights the lack of communication and understanding between the Osages and the government, as well as the legal battles and protests that followed. The Court of Claims ruled in favor of the Indians, but legislative action on the issue has been unsuccessful. The document emphasizes the need for justice and fair treatment of Native American tribes by the government.
