This work delves into the sacred rituals surrounding the naming of children among the Osage tribe, exploring their cultural significance and the ceremonial practices involved. The text aims to preserve and elucidate the traditional rites as passed down through generations, providing an essential insight into the Osage's rich cultural and spiritual heritage. The opening of the work introduces the topic of the child-naming ritual and highlights the reverence and reluctance within the Osage community regarding the discussion of sacred rites. La Flesche notes the historical context of the Osage people's development and their relationship with cosmic forces as deeply integrated into their cultural practices. He describes the ceremonial elements, roles of specific gentes (clans), and the importance of these rituals in naming children, showcasing both versions of the rites as key to understanding Osage identity and spirituality. Through detailed descriptions of the rituals, associated symbolism, and the philosophy underpinning these practices, the reader gains a deeper appreciation for the significance of names and the ceremonial process involved in bestowing them.
