Each March, the Osage Nation Sovereignty Celebration honors a defining moment in our history—the ratification of the Osage Nation Constitution on March 11, 2006. This year is especially meaningful as we commemorate the 20th anniversary of our Constitution, a milestone that reflects our strength, resilience, and self-determination. Throughout the month, our people and community will come together to celebrate Osage sovereignty and look ahead to the future we continue to build together.
