Explore the history and tradition behind the Osage roach headdress. Join us for a captivating lecture series that delves into the Osage Nation Museum’s treasured collections with its former director, E. Sean Standing Bear. Standing Bear is the son of George Eugene Standing Bear and the great-grandson of Chief Fred Lookout and Mrs.Julia Lookout. He is from an esteemed family of political and cultural leaders, and his understanding of Osage life and culture comes from a unique perspective shaped by extensive conversations with his grandmother, Mary Nora Lookout Standing Bear. Standing Bear has spent years studying the Osage Nation Museum collection and is knowledgeable about its holdings and history. This extensive experience with the collection, combined with his distinctive knowledge gained through oral histories, will make for a not-to-be-missed series. All are welcome to attend this free event.
