“This was so good especially since I was born and raised in Oklahoma. I remember driving to Pawhuska for the first time about three years ago even though I was from Bartlesville which was only 30 minutes away. On my drive through Pawhuska I came upon this vast prairie that seemed to go for several miles and when I got home I asked someone about whose land all that was which I had driven by to find out it belonged to the Drummonds. I was also told but I have no way of knowing if true, that the government pays them millions to let wild mustang horses roam their land. Also I never knew about where the word “boomer” came from. I just thought it was made up to rhyme with Sooner. Anyway, I really enjoyed every minute of this podcast. I learned more Oklahoma history listening to In Trust than I did in school or college. The Indians seam like very nice, tolerant people. I am going to be seeing Killers of The Flower moon in two hours and will be interested in seeing if the Drummonds are mentioned and I can’t help but think between your podcast and the movie that the Drummonds won’t be sued into returning their land back to the Osage if even just a part of it, perhaps that is why Getner wanted to become AG to steer any lawsuits away from his property. Who knows.”
