The Name Game
The tribe Osage is based on are located in Missouri, Kansas. They are the wealthiest Native American tribe due to the discovery of oil on their Oklahoma reservation.

The Osage built permanent villages in the woods of Missouri and Arkansas and went on twice yearly buffalo hunting expeditions in the plains. They raised corn, squash and vegetables. They also hunted deer and rabbit. Thus, the Osage incorporated some aspects of the Great Plains culture as well as being a woodlands tribe. The Osage clashed with the Kiowa and the Comanche. George A. Custer employed Osage scouts in his campaign against the Cheyenne and Arapaho in 1867.

The Osage were resettled in “Indian Territory” (Oklahoma) in the 1870s. Their lives changed forever in 1897 with the discovery of oil on the Oklahoma land that had been allotted to them. An unbelievably fortunate clause in their treaty with the U.S. allowed them to keep their mineral rights. But this was not all to the good as unscrupulous non-natives sought to acquire this wealth through fraud or theft. Since the 1920s, the Osage have been embroiled in tribal governmental and constitutional issues. The headquarters of the Osage is in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
