Indians 'Bargained' Out
Homes; Laugh Best

The Usage Indian tribe has the
last laugh on the white man. Dur
ing the 10Th century, the Usage
were forced and "bargained'' out
of Arkansas, Missouri, and Kan
sas, retaining only the rocky hills
of northern Oklahoma out of their
once great domain.
Then came oil, black gold gush-
ing from the Usage hills. Once
worth 70 cents an acre, this land
has since produced 273 million
dollars in gas and gilmore than
$4,000 in cash revenue for each
Usage Indian.
