Osage Nation Creates Task Force To Administer Federal Relief Funds

The Osage Nation is forming a task force of tribal employees to oversee the spending of more than $28 million the nation received from the federal CARES Act.

Some of the money will be used for the the Wah-Zha-Zhi Health Center, Bird Creek Farms, the Osage Nation Ranch, and technology for distance learning and remote operations of the Osage Nation.

The deadline to spend the money is December 30 of this year.
