The Osage Indians
The Osage Indians were found in Missouri near the Missouri and Osage rivers. They were found by the French in 1673. They are famous for their hunting, gardening, and foraging skills. The Osage later found themselves in Northeastern Arkansas. They called themselves Ni-U-Kon-Ska which means Children of the Middle Waters, though usually known as Wha Sha She. The tribe lived in teepees and earth lodges.
The Osage hunted buffalo and deer a lot because they create food and clothes and have useful body parts for hunting tools, carrying water, nuts, berries, and more. They grew vegetables like corn, beans, and some pumpkins. Before they were forced to Oklahoma they roamed the land between three great rivers, the Missouri, the Arkansas, and the Mississippi.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that the Osage indians were discovered by the French. I also didn't know that they called themselves Ni-U-Kon-Sha( also known wha sha she) means children of the water. But I have two questions, were they aggressive and were they strong?
