Summary

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The mission of the Osage Nation Historic Preservation Office (ONHPO) is to preserve, main­tain, and revitalize the culture and traditions of the Osage Nation. The overarching goal of the ONHPO is to meet the cultural preservation needs voiced by the Osage people. To achieve that goal, every year the ONHPO takes up to twenty Osage Tribal members and other Tribal representatives to explore sites within Osage Ancestral Territory in an effort to reconnect the Osage people with their past. This paper will discuss the challenges and successes of the program in this unique take on public archaeology.
