Generations of History: Osage Foodways

Photo Caption: Chief Fred Lookout at the head of the dinner table with his wife Julia Lookout to his left, n.d. ONM Collection P01-1261.

Join in a conversation on Osage foodways with Mary Liz Ricketts and Sean Standing Bear. They will discuss food-related pieces from the museum collection, sharing stories that demonstrate the central importance of Osage dinners to our traditional events and activities. Mrs. Ricketts served on the Pawhuska In-Lon-Schka Committee for 30 years and was the head cook for two Drumkeepers. This esteemed position requires a lifetime of knowledge-building, beginning as a young child assisting with community dinners to eventually mastering a vast range of traditional dishes. Central to all of this is a deep understanding of the rich history of Osage foods and an expertise in the protocol that guides traditional food preparation and presentation. These ways have been handed down to Osage cooks throughout the generations.

Free and open to the public.
