It's time for the elites of our would to stop doing what they want to however they want whenever they want. They should be removed from our world. Period

The Osage bought their land it wasn't given to them.If I came and drilled a oil well in your front yard. And even though you owned the front yard I said you didn't have any say so in the project.You would take me to court and that's what the Osage did
 You break the law don't cry about the punishment.

you shouldn't speak about subjects you clearly know nothing about,aside from what your fake news brainwashers deliver to you when you could be spending time with your family or helping your own community. Can't think about your family when your eating up  alt right pedo politicians' deflecting 'stories' about how to make America great.

This story propped up in several publications. But it was not clear what did they mine. Everyone mentioned mining as this was what the lawsuit was based on. But the closest argument I could gleam was that they had to dig into the land to build foundation for the wind turbines and that meant they were "mining".

Did they remove excavated materials from the site? Digging a hole for a foundation is not mining..

Maybe it's time for the invaders of Native American lands to integrate into the Native American society. They were here first

Unlike most tribes in Oklahoma the Osage actually purchased their land and the mineral rights to that land.


That's not to say however that the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee and other tribes that had to walk to Oklahoma had it easy.

Entel was asked to get a lease 10years ago and continued to ask them,they ignored the Osages and continued to do what they wanted using their land to mine rocks and build foundations under surface for wind turbines going against the US government dept of interior and sovereign rights of Osage Nation, following rules getting lease from tribe would have been simple,ignored request to lease.

No one, no company or individual has the right to do what this company did.  If they were mining, all profits from the mining should also be paid to the land owners.

Idiotic

It's time to end Indian reservations and require all persons of Indian descent to be fully integrated into American society!

When I had first heard the story after the ruling, alot of the reason was the courts ruled the mineral right extend vertical..to my understandingthe biggest issue was because tribe was not being paid mineral rights.

The only relevant rocks I can see in your argument are the rocks in your head.

If one Rock is turned over the tribe own the rights to that rock and everything else within the ground.

It says in the article, they got permission for using the surface (to build a wind farm), but not below ground. They used the windfarm as a pretext to use the land for mining which they didn't have permission to do. So they are being evicted off the land.
