𐓈𐒰𐓄𐓂𐓆𐒼𐒰 𐒰͘𐒼𐓂𐓈𐒰𐓬𐒻 (Our School), is an educational facility serving Osage children ranging in age from 6 weeks old through 7TH grade. 𐓈𐒰𐓄𐓂𐓆𐒼𐒰 𐒰͘𐒼𐓂𐓈𐒰𐓬𐒻 provides a place where children can begin to learn the Osage language, at a preverbal age, by hearing the Osage language spoken for several hours each day. By immersing students in the Osage language and culture and providing them with opportunities to explore and learn each day, their self-esteem and Osage identity of our next generation will be strengthened.
