It is a priority of the Osage Nation Executive Branch that all complaints and/or compliments filed by Constituents of the Osage Nation receive prompt attention and a timely response.

All complaints and/or compliments will be referred to the Osage Nation Director of Operations from the Constituent Services Office. The Director of Operations has the discretion to forward the complaint or compliment to the appropriate supervisor, branch of Government, the Attorney General’s Office, the Osage Nation Police Department, or the Chief of the Osage Nation.

With respect to complaints, Constituents will be notified via telephone or email on the status of their complaint, within ten (10) business days, of receipt of the complaint by the Constituent Services Office.

In an effort to show the Osage Nation’s commitment to continual quality improvement, each department and/or program of the Osage Nation, will visibly display a sign informing constituents that they may request a complaint form directly from the department or program from which they are requesting or receiving service(s).

Compliments can be filed using the complaint form and procedure. No response will be given on the outcome of a compliment.
