Osage Life and Legends

The Osage of the Ozarks and tall-grass prairies were once one of the most powerful tribes in North America. Robert Liebert says they have had very little written about them. Their traditions and world-views were handed down verbally through the generations in a series of beautiful poems called wi-gi-es. To bring the Old Osage way of life to light, these poems are recorded and explained together with a brief history of the people.
