Our Osage Hills presents an exciting portrait of the Wahzhazhe (Osage) people and their prairie homelands in the early twentieth century and beyond, this book presents excellent lost work by the charismatic Osage author and naturalist, John Joseph Mathews, plus a wealth of contextual stories and Osage history. Dr. Michael Snyder discovered, compiled, and edited Mathews's captivating articles, and crafted researched commentaries; these articles and commentaries interweave to form an Osage-centric chronicle of the Great Depression. Using Mathews's articles as a cue, a prompt to move through a vast memory palace, Snyder's pieces tell a broader story of Osage cultural survivance, continuity, and the political struggle for sovereignty; the involvement of Osages in high culture performance and music; the special contributions of Osage women; the novel of the West and novelists in the West; Hollywood as a reflection, however distorted, of the Osage Nation and the surrounding nation; Indian athletics, especially baseball; and crucially, birds, animals, and the beginning of ecological understanding and the emergence of environmental protection. The essays also offer new discoveries on the Osage murders of the 1920s, and show the continued white exploitation and violence against Osages during the 1930s. Through this entertaining and wide-ranging study, the reader will gain a new and fuller understanding of the Wahzhazhe people and their homeland.
