The Osage Nation Police Department is investigating after it was discovered that the, "Million Dollar Elm," tree had been cut down on Tuesday evening.

 This is a tree that was planted in 2014 to symbolize the Osage Nation's past and was located next to the Principal Chief's Office.

The Osage Nation Police Department is reviewing footage. A smooth cut halfway through the trunk and yellow paint marks show that this could not have been from the Tuesday evening thunderstorms. The investigation is ongoing.
