I am a Shareholder of the Osage Indian Mineral Estate and I am a voting member of the Osage Mineral Council.
The Council has decided that in the best interest of the Osage Shareholders that the upcoming June 2010 Election should be done with the help of the B.I.A , and I fully support their decision to travel to Washington , D.C to ask for the help that is needed.
We are supposed to be under the 1906 Act of the Osage Indians under the CFR's put into place by the Congress of the United States.
Under this act we were to be afforded our own Chief and Assistant Chief and have our Election with the help of the B.I.A.
With the New Constitution representing the Osage Nation it seems that the Mineral Estate is being combined with the Nation and not a separate entity as it was set to be by our own United States Government.
As a Constituent and a Shareholder of the Mineral Estate , I wish to offer my full support for this Council to ask for the full support of the B.I.A for their involvement in the 2010 Mineral Council Elections and keep the Nation's Election completely separate.

Dear Council,
I do not understand how Chief Gray can interfere with Council business and how he can withhold funds that do not belong to him or the tribe. The Treasurer needs to be fired for disobeying an order to release the funds. The Treasurer has also done this to the Nation's Congress when they requested the Treasurer to pay the employees their Christmas bonuses and the Chief said no.
I suggest when you return that the Mineral Council and Congress draw up a joint Resolution to replace the Treasurer.
I hope you get a ruling that will support the Council's election, and I hope that the BIA will make a ruling that the Mineral Council is governed by the 1906 Act and not our corrupt Chief.

Dear Councilwoman Red Corn-Lynn:*
I am in full support of your making the trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with the BIA. As a Headright owner of the Osage Mineral Estate Trust, I request that the BIA participate in the upcoming Osage Minerals Council Election in the same capacity as it has in the past.
Your Resolution 1-230, approved on April 9, 2009, clearly states: “That the Minerals Council requests the Bureau of Indian Affairs conduct our Election according to the Code of Federal Regulations, CFR Chapter 25: Section 90.” Principal Chief Gray could have objected to it, and did not, within the stated amount of time allowed in the 2006 Constitution (Article XV, Section 4, Paragraph 4).
Sincerely,
o/s Lou W. Brock
