Third Annual Cultural Walk has record turnout

More than 70 Osages from across the country traveled home to participate in the commemorative walk

Through the wild ranch fields in northeast Oklahoma Jacque Jones shouldered her three-month-old daughter in a baby backpack carrier and walked about three miles.

As she walked she wondered why the journey soothed the youngest of her five daughters to sleep. She also thought about the ground she walked on and how it once embellished the footprints of her Osage ancestors.

“Just to be able to walk in the footsteps that my ancestors walked in, it was really kind of an emotional walk for me,” Jones said.

Seven Osage writers honored by the Osage Nation at a June 24 summit each did readings from their work and described how their tribal heritage impacts their writing.
