| Summary |
Excerpt: "This study of the removal of the Osage Indians from their homes in Vernon and Bates County, Missouri, to the Indian Territory, after a brief review of governmental policies from the Colonial Period to the creation of an Indian Territory in 1834, presents: (1) The early history of the Osage Indians, their tribal divisions, their ancient homes, the personal characteristics, the customs, laws, language, and government. (2) Their removal from Missouri to Kansas, the influence of the missions on their life, the land disputes and the part played by them in the War Between the States. (3) The treaties, acts of Congress, and other factors which eventuated in their removal from Kansas to their home in Osage County, Oklahoma. The Bureau of American Ethnology Reports were probably the most valuable source materials. Other important sources were Frederick Webb Hodge, Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico, 2 vols., and Charles J. Kappler, Indian Affairs, Laws, and Treaties. Other sources of value were special works, government bulletins, and publications of Learned Societies." |
