Were you sold on the idea that guardianship/conservatorship once had a noble purpose? Neither ever did. It has always been a system of human trafficking with the intent of depriving those targeted of their assets, land, possessions and finances.
Tonight, Marcia Southwick, A Director of the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse, will join Marti to describe the Oklahoma guardianship system that was put in place to “protect” the Five Civilized Tribes and the Osage in the early 1900’s. Guardianships were transferred to state control when Oklahoma achieved statehood. Just as occurs today, county courts became responsible for probate cases and guardianships. Many Native Americans were deemed “incompetent,” especially as oil began to be discovered on their land. The atrocities and systematic theft are recorded in an investigation done in 1924, and in other documents. If you believe that removal of rights is the best way to protect another person’s interests,you’ll question that assumption after listening to the show.
