WEBVTT - Introducing: In Trust

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a story about land in oil, about family,

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>about wealth, about the stories we passed down and the

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>stories we don't. More than a hundred years ago, the

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Osage Nation negotiated something unique. Okay, a lot the surface lands,

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>but the subsurface remains as a mineral state. The O

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>s Age knew they needed to protect the oil and

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>gas wells beneath their reservation, because not long after that deal,

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>oil production in O Sage County, Oklahoma exploded, bringing a

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of money to O s Age families. For the

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>past year, I've been trying to figure out who ended

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>up with that wealth and how they got it. The

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>truth has got to come out, you know, and it's

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not always pretty and it's not always flattering. This

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>story took me across Oklahoma, across Texas, into people's homes

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>and state archives, to a sea of grass in the

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>middle of the prairie, through over a hundred years of history,

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>to the source of the money, land, and power that

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>shapes Osage County today. I'll tell you, Terry, our money

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>is involved. Seemed to pry out the windows regards. This

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>is in Trust, an investigative podcast about a massive transfer

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of wealth out of O s age hands and into

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>White Ones, and how the H nation is fighting to

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>get it back in. Trust is a new series from

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.960
