Properly carrying forward Osage culture requires being meticulous and mindful of what is presented. No detail is too small to overlook. This video includes Osage women’s dressing for the InLonShkah, as well as an Osage wedding coat. Wedding coats were traditionally used for wedding ceremony, but are now utilized in paying for the drum ceremonies or given as a special gift. The original coats were actual military coats from the 1700s and are now replicated from that era.
About the series: The Osage Nation Cultural Center and Language Department have collaboratively created a series of videos dedicated to sharing, preserving and celebrating the values, teachings and tribal ways of the Wahzhazhe people. Special thanks to the Osage cultural team for making this series possible.
