Osage Language students honored at appreciation dinner

Osage News Students of the Osage language were honored Saturday with a dinner at Wakon Iron Hall. The dinner was hosted by the organization Friends of the Osage, which raises money throughout the year so that the Osage Language Department can have functions such as the dinner. About 50 students attended and those with the best attendance at each of the five language teaching sites were honored with a medal and a certificate. The students feasted on catered food from Burn Co., who cooks all of their food over an open flame. A raffle drawing took place during the dinner in which all the numbers were called out in Osage. Here are a few photos from the dinner.
