NOVEMBER 29, 2000 Charles Tillman, Chairman of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma, got a bit of TV time on Tuesday night, appearing on the CBS news program 60 Minutes II. The program aired a report on the family fued between Bill and Charles Koch of Koch Industries fame. A jury said the company cheated the government and tribal members out of oil royalties after Bill Koch filed a whistle blower lawsuit. But unlike Bill Koch, Tillman isn't suing Koch for lost money. Instead, he is suing the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs for $2.5 billion, alleging mismanagment of oil and gas royalties. Related Stories:
