About this eBook

Author Dorsey, James Owen, 1848-1895
Title Osage Traditions
Note Reading ease score: 73.1 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
Summary "Osage Traditions" by James Owen Dorsey is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the rich traditions and cosmology of the Osage people, focusing particularly on their secret societies and oral traditions that convey their history and beliefs. The text serves as a preservation of cultural narratives that may have otherwise been lost. At the start of "Osage Traditions," the author recounts his visit to the Osage tribe in the Indian Territory, where he learns about the existence of a secret society that is crucial for passing down the people's traditions. Through the accounts shared with him by members of the tribe, including a halfbreed Osage named Ha"d"a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ü{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, Dorsey begins to outline themes of creation, identity, and the spiritual relationship the Osage have with nature and their ancestors. The opening hints at the complex narratives involving beings, both human and celestial, as the Osage seek their connection to the divine and their origins in a series of upper worlds, ultimately emphasizing the importance of storytelling in their culture.
