The Osage Indians we're a tribe back then. The Osage Indians were known for gardening, hunting, and foraging. Later on, they found themselves in the northwestern part of Arkansas. The United States government started to take away land from the Osage Indians in the year 1808.
<span>There was a greed for land and the whites wanted the Indians off the land. The Indians on the other hand, wanted to retain the land that had always been there. As the Indians were forced off their lands into reservations many of the promises (treaties) made by the whites were not carried out or honored. As the Indians became more and more marginalized they fought back which lead to massacres like the one at wounded Knee SD. It all comes down to a battle for territory, sadly.</span>
