Against the understanding of Jacques Derrida, who initiated analysis of archives as an expression of state power, the archive can be seen as a disruption or break in the standard presentation and operation of power. In this text the author employs a family archive as well as archival and historical material from the Osage to document a unique relationship among white settlers, the Osage, and African Americans in Oklahoma.
