The topic discussed in the article is the Osage headright system, Indigenous land rights, and the personal journey of Richard J. Lonsinger, a member of the Ponca tribe who was abandoned as a toddler and later sought to understand and reclaim his heritage, particularly by addressing the distribution of his birth mother’s Osage headright. The text doesn’t explicitly mention the views of the author or any specific individual regarding the topic. Instead, it offers accurate information on the Osage headright system’s historical framework, the difficulties experienced by Indigenous people, the headrights-related legal disputes, and Richard Lonsinger’s own journey. The text’s goal was to emphasize an individual’s personal experience within this environment while also bringing attention to a historical and current issue pertaining to Indigenous rights and the Osage headright system. It is very sad how some people were treated. Some natives were found “incompetent” to have the money because they were American Indians. White people would force marry some natives and kill them for the headrights. People are greedy f0r the money. Since the beginning America was founded on racism and in my opinion corruption. We continue to see this today.
I agree with your comment, however I’d want to add that we see similar forms of corruption all around the world in the present era. Individuals prefer to seek others by focusing solely on what will profit them, rather than on what will benefit everyone. What are some alternatives to the way we approach particular ethnic groups?
I agree with what you’re saying about how people are greedy for money since a lot of people always want to have more but do not necessarily need more.
I agree with your statement regarding the racism and corruption in this country. White people have consistently undermined people of different cultures.
