• Osage Congress to vote on data centers, immersion school funding Monday (kosu.org) — Osage lawmakers will vote Monday on a funding bill that could reopen Pawhuska’s closed tribal visitor center with nearly $900,000 and restore operations at the Fairfax center and Daposka Ahnkodapi immersion school. Another bill would require Osage Congress approval before any tribal data center projects move forward, including a proposed Google facility tied to the tribe’s minerals estate. 
• Osage Nation PRT facility receives first CARF accreditation (osagenews.org) — Pawhuska’s Osage Nation Primary Residential Treatment facility has earned its first national CARF accreditation, signaling high standards for culturally grounded drug and alcohol treatment close to home. Leaders say the recognition streamlines oversight, validates traditional healing practices like sweat and beadwork, and strengthens tribal healthcare sovereignty while aiming for better long-term recovery outcomes for Native clients and their families.
