Official website of the Osage Nation, a federally-recognized Native American government. Headquartered in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, approx. 60 miles northwest of Tulsa, Osage Nation exercises governmental jurisdiction over the Osage reservation, a more than 2200 square miles area extending from Tulsa to Kansas.

Osage life centred on religious ceremonials in which clans were divided into symbolic sky and earth groups, with the latter further subdivided to represent dry land and water. The Osage were remarkable for their poetic rituals. Among them was the custom of reciting the history of the creation of the universe to each newborn infant.

The Osage Nation Reservation is also referred to as Osage County, which is currently the largest county in Oklahoma, with approximately 1,470,938 acres or 2,298 sq. miles. By 1872, the Osage Nation Reservation was established, and grazing became essential to the economy. In 1894, crude oil would be found on our reservation.
