[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3690337, member: 13337"] My Step-Pop was 1/4 or 1/8th Osage,,, He built/sold driftwood furniture for his retirement business. He too advertised himself as a "Native American Craftsman",,, But he didn't look at all as if he were Osage,,, His father was as Irish as they come I remember one craft show we were selling at in Tulsa,,, A small "tribe" of obviously Native descent started to harass him. They apparently were with a group that actively searched out "imposters",,, They threatened to coll some agency on Dad if he didn't "immediately cease his fraud". They were so angry when he produced his Osage Tribe Identification Card. Like so many self righteous groups,,, They just couldn't admit they were wrong and walk away,,, They called the craft show manager over to claim his card was fake. I laughed out loud when the manager (who had known Dad for years),,, Had the security guard "escort" them off the premises. This happened at the Tulsa Flea Market around 2010/2011. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
