Show Indians 'Bargained' Out Homes; Laugh Best The Osage Indian tribe has the last laugh on the white man. During Dur-ing the 19th century, the Osage were forced and "bargained" out of Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas, Kan-sas, retaining only the rocky hills of northern Oklahoma out of their once great domain. Then came oil, black gold gushing gush-ing from the. Osage hills. Once worth 70 cents an acre, this land has since produced 273 million dollars in gas and oil more than $120,000 in cash revenue for each Osage Indian. |
