Osage Nation

The Osage Nation is a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains of the United States, particularly present-day Oklahoma. Historically, they were known as skilled hunters and traders, with a rich cultural heritage. In the early 20th century, the tribe became wealthy due to oil discovered on their land, which led to significant social and legal challenges, including exploitation and violence against them. Today, the Osage Nation is a federally recognized tribe, actively working to preserve their culture, improve economic opportunities, and provide services for their members while engaging in governance and community development.
