Summary: When the Cushing Oil Field was discovered in Oklahoma in 1911, Jackson Barnett, an illiterate Creek Indian, began receiving large royalties. When he was declared incompetent, and later eloped and moved to Los Angeles, it led to years of court cases and congressional investigations into mismanagement by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
