He has been my guide and source of strength throughout this doctoral process. I truly believe, "I can do everything through him.who· gives me strength" (Philippians 4: 13). I want to express my infinite appreciation and love to my best friend and strongest supporter, my husband, Rick. He has encouraged and prayed for me throughout this entire process. Thank you for cheering me.on! I will forever be indebted to the three Osage families who participated in this study: My mother, Mary Jo Peace Webb; Marvin Stepson, Jr;; and, Juanita and Joe Tall Chief Their knowledge and understanding of family and Osage Tribal history was essential to this study. I want to especially thank my mother for her prayers, encouragement, and ~ollaboration during this research project. Her wisdom and knowledge regarding the Osage Tribe proved to be an invaluable source for this study. I would alsolike tb thank my father, Melvin Webb, for his support and encouragement. Without his life-long belief and confidence in me, this achievement would not have been possible. To my many friends and co~workers who have supported and encouraged me, I want to say a special thank you. I would like to express my sincere gratefulness to Dr. Adrienne Hyle, adviser and committee chairperson of my dissertation, for her constant support, guidance, and 111 understanding of underrepresented groups during this research process. I.would also like to thank the other members ofmy committee: Dr. Edward Harris, Dr. Wen-Song Hwu, and Dr. Michael Mills.for their encouragement, advice, and willingness to serve on my committee.

Revised Osage Matrix . 188 1X The Osage by Will Ferrell Poet Laureate of the Oil Fields I can see, from my windows, a sky-line of gray, To the North and the West - just a trifle away And, below, where a river of chrome and of dun Crawls lazily South in the slant of the sun, There's a jumble of hills climbing up, like a stair Or as Pilgrims, belated and kneeling in prayer In a land that is voiceless and barren and cold And a land that has lied in its promise of gold. A joke, as it were, and a satire of Time Was this junk-yard of black-jack and sandstone and lime. A joke for the reason - that, back in the years When the red man gave way to the van of his peers, He was given this parcel to hold as his own As the dog of tradition was given the bone And, Lo of the legend; of song and of lore, Accepted the haven - he wanted no more. The whites hurried by in a feverish quest For the mythical lures of a beckoning West And the region was shunned in the greed of the hour And the scramble for wealth and position and power Picture used with permission by Lionel LLC. And the Osage, neglected, remote and forlorn Was old long before Oklahoma was born. Lo's vision of wealth, springing out of his soil, Was idle, indeed, and it wasn't of OIL. Then sharp, like a blast, o'er the ridges it came, A sound indefinable - lacking a name. The shriek of a siren, the clank of a chain; The honk of a motor truck out on the plain And, presently, up from a thicket of oak, A derrick arose through a feather of smoke. Then Manitou struck through the stratas of stone And "Lo, the poor Indian," comes to his own. Instead of the "calico" pony of old; The flapping red blanket to.

  • Creating an Osage Future: Art, Resistance, and Self-Representation
    CREATING AN OSAGE FUTURE: ART, RESISTANCE, AND SELF-REPRESENTATION Jami C. Powell A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jean Dennison Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld Valerie Lambert Jenny Tone-Pah-Hote Chip Colwell © 2018 Jami C. Powell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jami C. Powell: Creating an Osage Future: Art, Resistance, and Self-Representation (Under the direction of Jean Dennison and Rudolf Colloredo Mansfeld) Creating an Osage Future: Art, Resistance, and Self-Representation, examines the ways Osage citizens—and particularly artists—engage with mainstream audiences in museums and other spaces in order to negotiate, manipulate, subvert, and sometimes sustain static notions of Indigeneity. This project interrogates some of the tactics Osage and other American Indian artists are using to imagine a stronger future, as well as the strategies mainstream museums are using to build and sustain more equitable and mutually beneficial relationships between their institutions and Indigenous communities. In addition to object-centered ethnographic research with contemporary Osage artists and Osage citizens and collections-based museum research at various museums, this dissertation is informed by three recent exhibitions featuring the work of Osage artists at the Denver Art Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Sam Noble Museum at the University of Oklahoma. Drawing on methodologies of humor, autoethnography, and collaborative knowledge-production, this project strives to disrupt the hierarchal structures within academia and museums, opening space for Indigenous and aesthetic knowledges.

  • A Native History of Kentucky
    A Native History Of Kentucky by A. Gwynn Henderson and David Pollack Selections from Chapter 17: Kentucky in Native America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia edited by Daniel S. Murphree Volume 1, pages 393-440 Greenwood Press, Santa Barbara, CA. 2012 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW As currently understood, American Indian history in Kentucky is over eleven thousand years long. Events that took place before recorded history are lost to time. With the advent of recorded history, some events played out on an international stage, as in the mid-1700s during the war between the French and English for control of the Ohio Valley region. Others took place on a national stage, as during the Removal years of the early 1800s, or during the events surrounding the looting and grave desecration at Slack Farm in Union County in the late 1980s. Over these millennia, a variety of American Indian groups have contributed their stories to Kentucky’s historical narrative. Some names are familiar ones; others are not. Some groups have deep historical roots in the state; others are relative newcomers. All have contributed and are contributing to Kentucky's American Indian history. The bulk of Kentucky’s American Indian history is written within the Commonwealth’s rich archaeological record: thousands of camps, villages, and town sites; caves and rockshelters; and earthen and stone mounds and geometric earthworks. After the mid-eighteenth century arrival of Europeans in the state, part of Kentucky’s American Indian history can be found in the newcomers’ journals, diaries, letters, and maps, although the native voices are more difficult to hear.

This book is designed to quickly acquaint tribal members and other interested readers with some of the traditional cultural institutions of the Kanza tribe, specifically with the tribal clan structure and its organization. Because the clan system was intimately linked to many very important concepts within the Kanza world—such as marriage, kinship, and general social interaction—even a cursory examination of the topic will yield a great deal of cultural material. The book is presented in a format that is both accessible and informative, and great care has been taken to assure that the information presented is as authentic as currently possible.
