Osage headright

An Osage headright is a type of headright in the United States. There are 2,229 Osage headrights, one for each member of the Osage Nation enrolled in 1906. Osage headrights entitle the owner to a quarterly share of the Osage Mineral Estate.

Osage headrights are known for motivating some of the killers in the Osage Indian murders and for contemporary issues surrounding continued non-Osage ownership.
