Abstract
Child-woman ratios have long been recognized as a valuable estimator of general fertility rates when vital events data are absent or unreliable. Using child-woman ratios, we analyze the effective fertility differentials between Osage full-bloods and mixed-bloods. A comparison between these two social groups reveal that the mixed-blood Osage subpopulation had a significantly higher effective fertility rate than did the full-bloods. From this data, we explore the reasons for this reproductive differential and its politicalconsequences for the Osage from 1877 to 1907.
