Osage language revitalization

Osage language revitalization involves efforts to preserve and restore the use of the Osage language, an indigenous language once widely spoken by the Osage Nation. This includes teaching the language in schools, developing learning materials, recording native speakers, and encouraging community use. These initiatives aim to strengthen cultural identity, ensure language continuity for future generations, and combat language endangerment. By actively engaging community members and leveraging modern technology, Osage language revitalization strives to keep the language alive and vibrant in everyday life.
