Osage Indians

At an Oklahoma State University panel for the school’s 2025 Tribal Summit, some leaders sounded the alarm about the impacts of the administration and its Department of Government Efficiency.

A federal freeze of grant funding is creating confusion in Oklahoma’s non-profit sector, tribal nations and state government agencies.

Now that "Killers of the Flower Moon" is becoming a blockbuster movie, the community where many of the murders took place is wrestling with how to open up about its past.

Lillie Morrell Burkhart was a wealthy Osage woman living near Ralston, Oklahoma in Pawnee County in the early 20th century. When she passed away in 1967, she had a will that clearly laid out her wishes: her home is to be kept as a shrine to her ancestor Chief White Hair. She left her land, her country house and her two headrights to the Oklahoma Historical Society. In KOSU’s third story in a series about her legacy, what would happen to that home and everything inside it would be at the center of a lengthy court battle involving relatives who were upset that Osage wealth would be leaving Osage hands once again.
