1879 CE

An Osage delegation goes to Washington, DC, in 1879 and gains agreement to have all their annuities paid in cash; they hope to avoid being continually shortchanged in supplies, or by being given supplies of inferior quality—spoiled food and inappropriate goods.

They are the first Native American nation to gain full cash payment of annuities.

They will gradually begin to build up their tribe again, but will suffer encroachment by white outlaws, vagabonds, and thieves.
