Notes

Abstract: By 1893 the Osage Nation found itself surrounded by intruders anxious to claim their "surplus" land. Fearing the fraud associated with the Cherokee allotment, the Osages wrote their own allotment act and gained a measure of control of the dissolution of their reserve. Louis F. Burns describes the provisions that made it unique among tribal allotments in Indian Territory.
