The problem was that as long as they do not drill for oil, one tribal member remained on the land. There was only one old Indian land, and his name was chief bowels.
Chief Bowels was proving to be very stubborn about moving off of his tribal lands. The
oil company offered him large sums of cash, stocks, and everything else they could think
of but the only reply he ever gave them was, “Bowels no move!”
