AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book discusses changes that took place in Osage social organization from the time of European contact in 1673 until the privatization of their reservation in 1906. It does this by contrasting salient features of Osage political organization, unilineal descent groups, and household structure both before and after these two contrasting time periods. Prior to their final confinement to a reservation and subsequent subjugation to programs of US government agents and missionaries, the Osage occupied a vast territory that stretched from the dense woodlands of eastern Arkansas and Missouri to the plains of western Oklahoma and Kansas. They maintained direct contacts with a wide variety of Indian and European groups with whom they traded, exchanged, and frequently fought. All these brought substantial economic, demographic, political and religious changes in Osage society.
