Osseo Bemidji was a male Selkie politician, born on Pacifica circa the 2270s. By 2381, he had become Pacifica's Secretary of Interplanetary Affairs, and as such, confronted Doctor Beverly Crusher and her team from the Federation Displaced Persons Agency over the problems with the refugee camp at iy'Dewra'ni, housing survivors of the Borg Invasion earlier that year. As part of his role, he also assumed responsibility for relieving Pacifica Security Commandant Thwa Minha from duty following an altercation with the refugees at the camp.
