The Osage Nation of Oklahoma took part in a Lewis and Clark/Louisiana territory commemoration event in St. Louis, Missouri.
A treaty signed between France, Spain and the United States turned over the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. The tribe was forced to move from the territory to Oklahoma.
Chief Jim Gray said the removal killed off most of the tribe. But he said the tribe was taking part in the events to share its story.
