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.
