The Osage claimed this area as part of their homeland and hunting grounds. When the United States bought the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, they claimed the area and started working on treaties to acquire the land from the Osage. Over a period of 72 years, the Osage were forced through various treaties to surrender a majority of their homeland.
