Thank you for listening to my story “Ruby, Are You Mad at Your Man?” (If you haven’t listened yet, click here and follow along in the text for some great pictures.) Please spread the word by sharing my stories!
Loved the history of your family. My mom is from Bartlesville, OK and I related to what you wrote. Stories of the Osage provides a fascinating history of how the US and local governments, such as they were at the time, were antithetical to serving Indian rights. Unfortunately it blatantly continues in OK (Indians pitted against Indian - primarily initiated by the Cherokee who have taken lessons from the US 'Colonialism' playbook. ) I haven't yet listened to your story, "Rudy, Are You Mad at Your Man" but I intend to. Just wanted to say hello.
Love hearing from you on any subject but this one in particular, with your expertise. This business of Indians pitted against Indians is so distressing to me. There is a lot in my stories about Oklahoma. It interests me that your mother was from there. Ruby is one of my favorite stories because of the OK element and the 20's era characters. So many of my father's stories informed this story--he was born in '22--left after boarding school. what a story/issue/generational trauma that is. All my best and gratitude for your attention to Corvairs and Horny Toads. I would love to see you sometime.
Thank you for the great personal, historical insights!

Yes, I would love to get together. I saw Bea about 3 months ago. Maybe we can arrange something soon.
