The lands which the Osages now
walton was established for them in
Oklahoma by an act of congress on
July 10, 1870. The land was hilly
and regarded as almost worthless; so
much SO, in fact, that another tribe
to whom it was first given, refused
to live on it, So the Osages, who, by
this time, seem to have lost their war
like qualities and who seemed unlike
ly to protest, were given this tract of
approximately a million and half
acres BY an act of congress on June
%, 1906, this land was divided among
the Osages, then numbering nearly q,
600 persons. At this time the tribe
had to their credit in the United
States treasury more than eight and
half millions of dollars in treaty money,
yielding an annual income of nearly
half a million dollars. They also,
drew about 100000 year for pas
turage leases, so that their total an
nual income per capita was approxi-
mately $265. Even at this time, the
Osages were known as the richest In
dians in the United States.
When Oklahoma statehood was de-
clared in 1907, the Osages continued
to live peaceful existence compare
lively untouched by outside influences
Then along in 1912 and 1913 oil was
discovered on their lands, and almost
overnight the Osages became rich be-
yond their widest dreams. Then,
too, their troubles began. Unaccus-
toned to this great wealth, the Indians
fell prey to all kinds of white trick
sters. The elimination Of their trou-
bles was the series of mysterious
murders which began in 1922 and
which have recently been exposed.
Apparently unable to get as much of
the Osages wealth-and the wealth Of
the Osages is constantly increasing ;
the last announcement was that the
2,227 headlights in the tribe will pay
50, 400 each for the first quarter Of
1926 instead of $1,4O0 as was expect
ed by trickery as he desired, the
white man has resorted to violence
So although their wealth has
brought the Osages. considerable hap
piness. 1t has brought them sor-
row, too. just as it did Jack
son Barnett, the Creek Indian,
whose philanthropic and matrimonial
troubles were so prominent in the
newspapers only short time ago.
But out of all their troubles may
come a better day, not only for the
Osages but for every Indian in the
United States The Usage case now
seems likely to be a history-maIing
one, for recent agitation in the press
and in congress over the Indian ques-
ton in general may soon result In
some sweeping changes in the whole
conduct Of Indian affairs. and Poor
I4o' may soon gain the tardy Justice
which his friends believe he has so

at war with the Illinois, at one time
the warning tribes patched up a sort
of truce, and when the Iroquois de-
scended upon the Illinois from the
east, the latter sought refuge for a
time among their new-found friends,
the Osages, across the great river.
The first Americans to come into
contact with these people were Lewis
and Clark. BY this time the tribe
seems to have been divided into two
main groups, the Great Usage and the
Little Usage. The American explOr-
ers state that in 1902 the Great Usage.
under the leadership of chief named
Big Track, had migrated to the Ar
kansas river, and in 1904 they found
this subdivision, numbering 500 war
riors, in village on the Usage river.
The Little Usage, then only half as
numerous as the Great Usage, were
occupying a village six miles distant,
but a group, known only as the ''Ar-
kansas band" 600 warriors strong,
was located on the Vermilion river, a
branch of the Arkansas.
On November 10, 1908, the first
treaty between the American govern
ment and the Osages was signed at
Fort Clark, near Kansas City, Mo. In
it the Indians coded all of their lands
except those comprising the present
state of Oklahoma north of the Ca
madam and Arkansas rivers. But this
treaty was only the beginning. Later
cesslons-at ST. Louis, June 2, 1925,
at Fort Gibson. L T., January II, 1889,
and at Canville, Kan, September %,
1866 gradually cut down their hold
ings until of all the vast territory
which the Osages once claimed, and
by force of arms, but little remained.
Although the relations of the Osages
with the Americans from the begin
ming were more peaceful than those
of many western tribes, these warlike
people did not give up their lands
compIacently. Evidently they were
troublesome enough century ago, for
one of the provisions of the treaty
made in 1925 was that the Osages
were to refrain from moIesting the
trade with the Southwest, which was
just then beginning and which was
destined to make the historic Santa
Fe trail, which ran through the Usage
country, great trade artery.
One of the finest of the canvases
painted by the celebrated artist, John
Mix Stanley, is San Usage Scalp
Dance" The artist, who visited the
Osages in the early forties, says of
this painting: "On returning from
the scene of strife, they celebrate
their victories by scalp-dance. This
picture represents the scalp-dance of
the Osages around woman and her
child; and warrior in the act of
striking her with his club, his chief
springing forward and arresting the
blow with his spear
However, the United States never
engaged in a general war with the
Osages, and it is noteworthy that they
were more often our allies in wars
with other tribes than our enemies.
