[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2845228, member: 1535"] I'm an Osage member and no it isn't being purchased with casino money. The casino money goes right back in to the operation of it. (In 1905 the tribe bought our own reservation with our own money, money that had came from being moved from Missouri, even though Oklahoma had always been traditional Osage hunting grounds. In a treaty, white settlers were allowed to buy parcels and move onto the land in exchange for the tribe receiving all mineral rights in all of Osage county, the largest county in OK. That deal actually held up the land run and statehood until it was settled. We have been receiving proceeds from the mineral estate ever since). My cousin donated a 7000 acre ranch to the tribe last year before his death. The goal is for the tribe to return as much of our original land back into trust as is possible. My mother lives on my grandfather's family allotment in Osage county. It will go to us kids when she is passed and we plan to donate it at that point. (Tapatalk)- on the road. [/QUOTE]
