Like many native american languages, Osage had no written alphabet and was a spoken language only. More recently an orthography of phonetic symbols have been developed to facilitate preserving the language. At the present time there are only about 20 living fluent Osage speakers, all elderly and in Oklahoma, and about 300 students of the language. See a newspaper article from the Osage News.

Nice work.
I was in Tishomingo last week, capitol of the Chickasaw Nation. I got a couple of good photos of their capitol building that I will post later this week. Happy RT.

I love the bright colors! Now this is what I call urban art. I like it. Plain walls are boring and there are a lot of talented people out there!
That mural would be impossible to miss!
A SEEKER OF CRIMSON AND RED
A seeker of crimson and red
Did part her fair lips as she said,
“A daiquiri’s fine,
And so is red wine,
But I prefer claret instead!”
