Osage Headrights Fall Sharply Amid Oil Wealth Dip
Osage Indians in northeastern Oklahoma have lost much of their former oil wealth. W. B. Greenwood told a House subcommittee the value of the Osage headright fell from 2,580 in 1936 to 965 in 1940, with 1,400 of 3,600 tribal members not owning headrights. He warned oil and gas on tribal lands may be diminishing and urged a $9,080 salary increase for Osage agency staff. As of December 31, 1940, Osage funds totaled $2,900,018, second only to Oregon’s Klamaths, with various other tribes holding smaller balances. Hearings also showed 28,187 acres were acquired in Oklahoma at a cost of $470,198 under the Indian Reorganization Act from 1933 to 1940.
