American Flag On
Grave of Usage Indian

Pawhuska, Okla, June 10-P)-
Over the grave Of each Usage Indian
in the Usage Nation floats an Ameri-
can flag-symbol Of the red mans
faith In the Great White Father"
The white mans oil wells have
made the Osages the richest people
on earth. Interests Of the tribe are
pooled by the government and every
year the floor of black gold pours an
average income of $4,000 into the
lap of each member
This condition has made the
Indian the prey of the avaricious
white man. He has been cheated,
robbed and even slain for his
wealth.
But through It all. the Usage has
maintained steadfast confidence in
the power of the government to
right his wrongs and restore him
to his former tranquil life.
The flags are not flown in ac-
cordance with regulations. Day and
night they flutter over the graves
until, frayed and faded. they are re-
placed with fresh banners. The
sentiment that brought their display
is so genuine that no protest Is
made against the practice.
