The first and oldest democracy on the planet. The wampum belt of the Iroquois Confederacy. Women's rights, state's rights and a 1 person, 1 vote system of government. Ben Franklin consulted with them when framing the US Constitution. The Eagle clutching the 13 arrows on the dollar is a nod 2 us.

I did a podcast last year with the BBC Spotlight regarding Killers of the Flower Moon and my family's connection to the killings that took place in our Osage community. I really like the picture they made of me and my Great-Grandfather Henry Roan.

Many red states passed laws in the wake of the Affordable Care Act because they didn't like Obama, but the tea party was very popular then and didn't want the "gov't messin with our Medicare" So, laws were passed that protected a citizen's right to choose. So, WY abortion ban was overturned. lol

Yesterday, the US officially took 43,000 acres of land into Trust for the benefit of the Osage Nation. The 2nd largest land to trust exchange in US history. This land can never be taxed, leveraged, or used as collateral. It will forever be an asset under the jurisdiction of the US & Osage Nation
