{"Image DocumentName": "Osage reign of terror TIME PERIOD : Early 1920s", "Image ImageDescription": "BETWEEN : The Osage & Americans. CAUSE : Due to the recent oil discovery, Congress gave each tribe member land and required members to a court-given guardian \u2013 normally white lawyers or businessmen \u2013 to oversee the land safely in law. Both the member and the guardian received royalties/headrights [or yearly payments] for the land. Many Americans became envious of the recent Osage wealth and set out to get a part. EFFECT : Such wealth attracted criminal intent. Mysteriously, an estimated 60 Osage people died of suspicious causes. The series of murders in the reserve caused tribal elders to contact the FBI to investigate. A few greedy white men were to blame. The event resulted in legislative laws protecting the Osage and their oil rights.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
