Arthur Bonnicastle, born Feb. 20, 1877, on the Osage Nation Reservation, OK, was the 8th Principal Chief of the Osage Tribe. After school at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, he joined the army in 1900. He was assigned to the 9th U.S. Cavalry and action in the Boxer Rebellion in China (1900-1901). In 1903 after his discharge, he shortly returned to Carlisle before returning to the Reservation. In 1908 Bonnicastle ran for a seat on the Osage Tribal Council and won. He served one term as Principal Chief from 1920-1922 but didn't seek reelection, instead running again for a Council seat. He was successful in his bid for a Council seat in 1922 but died in 1923 when he reportedly fell off a train returning from Washington D.C. His death was ruled an accident, but many question the circumstances.

Osage Yancey Red Corn portrays Chief Bonnicastle in the upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon” film, where he also served as a consultant.

We are not relics. We are Wahzhazhe Always.
