It is my understanding that the Osage Indians are out of Quebec, QC. I am working on a family tree and have found out that I may have Osage Indian in my bloodline. I do know that my 15th or 16th G- Grandmother was full blood Osage and a number of others, too.
This is something that I have started working on over the past half year or so. If anyone can help me out or tell me how to go about looking into this, let me know. If all goes well I hope to take my soon to be 12 g-son to Quebec, QC with me.
If the Osage women took the last name as the men they married, then I hope to have some luck. The last name has a number of spellings. Here are a few of them: diit Brault- Pomainville, Brault -Pomainville, Pominville, Pomaville. The towns are Montreal, QC; Lachine, QC; and Cap-de-la-Madeleine .
So if anyone can help or tell me what to do, I thank you now.
It would be nice if the Wahzhazi would return to Missouri and establish Osage settlements along the old paths.
I believe the spelling and pronunciation of the Osage people is Wah Zha Zhi. You'll find it in the first paragraph of the Osage Tribes Mission Statement which reads as follows.
To ensure the survival of the Wah Zha Zhi Nation of people, we will share, preserve and celebrate the values, teachings and tribal ways that our elders entrusted to the present and future generations.
Did you know that the Osage Indians occupy the largest county in Oklahoma that runs over twenty three hundred square miles? The county is even called Osage County and is located in the northeastern part of the state near Tulsa.
On a recent trip through there we stopped in at the Osage Nation Cultural Center and Museum located in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
It's a beautiful establishment and filled with so much history, not only about the Osage Indians, but also about our nations past in general.
The center houses a library and a learning center where they offer free classes in shawl making, fingerweaving, ribbon work, beading and more. It looked like a lot of fun. I may have to do a little more research on that.
