The tve of St. Louts as formerly Oratfc 'mid and tho first portion of the clti was built on a Brant from he Osage tribe. Tho Osages had formerly lived along tho Routh Eastern Atlantic seaboard ,and a brailcli of tho Slouan nation. They moved westward to tho Missouri territory many years prior to tho omlntr of DoSolo and tint Spaniards ind tthen the .first French and Span ish explorers reached thn Mississippi river they found the Slouan tribes llvlnjt on tho west bank, all the wuy from tho Arkansas river north to tho Mlsstolppl's course. Tho states of Iowa, the Oakotas, Kansas, Missouri nd Arkansas took their names from various sub-tribes, of wtilcli tho OsaKfs wcro also one. When Thomas Jefferson In 1863 houcht Ioulslana from France, tho uvijcs were living in .Missouri, ani when General Zehulon IMko mndo his famous trip westward at Joffcrson's request to find out Just what ho had boucht, riko took with him from St Louis a numbor of Osago Indians ns guides and ho also returned to tho tribal headquarters In tho Osag a number of Osago prisoners of war whom the government had been holding ns hostages. Tho Osago guides wero still wlthrPIko when ho met tho Spaniards for tho first tlmo. near tho present slto of Maxtor Springs, Kan., nnd fought tho first battle with them for possession of much of Jefferson's purchnse, Had ii Written Constitution. In preserving tho Osago languago It Is Interesting to note that tho Osage. Qua paw (Arkansas) and Knw 'Kansas) tribes used tho same lan Euage being near relative hranches of the Plouan nation. Following the establishment of tho Osage nation In what Is now Osago county, the tribe had a written constitution from 1S81 to 1907 when statehood camo to all of Oklahoma and Indian territory, with executive, Judicial and Ifflmtlvn government. Since state. p K, W. MAHUAWU, Totner tribe, have kept their tribal blood uuinlxitl with other tribes or races, psi-.tpt the whites. Thero Is an unwrltteii law that tin negro must wed Into thi tribe and for in Any, lilanv years this was ibserved. TJen cnrn ago thero was one Osngn girl who was known to have negro blood In her veins. Sim was a descendant of Prince Albert, u negro sluvu anil body servant of Colonel t'lintiteiiu of WfI.uuls. n fiirtrnilcr for years among the Osiiges. Many of tint French furtrnders who wero with Chouteau took Indian wives for themselves and Prince Albert fol lowed suit .In ciinncrtlnn with linage history, the story Is told that when Cnrnnndn marched nnitlienstwnrd for the fa bled ilty of Qulvlra, he encountered tho Osagvs and was among them for MUlto a while. When ho left thero remained with tho Osages a Catholic prlvrt who was tho first missionary muting the Indians. Unlit Si. Imis House The Osages Hied In Missouri dilr lug tho seventeenth nnd eighteenth eentutles, and It Is wild that tho first house built on the preent slto of St. Louis was erected by an Osage Woman tinder the direction of Aug usto Chouteau to In- nearer tho buf- , falo grounds and in Siu they sold I everything north V the South Cati ' ndlali river to the Culled States'gnv-I ernment anil moved to lands In Kiin- sns.
