HA-WE and WELCOME to the Osage Nation Membership Department.  Our mission is to assist and answer any and all questions that each individual may have regarding membership.  This website will be a helpful and informative tool for you, as an applicant and Osage member, to be up-to-date on the latest membership news.

The Osage Nation Membership Department has had a successful six  years.  We issued the first Osage Nation Membership card on October 9, 2002.  As of today, we have enrolled 11,065 members and still continue to grow daily. 

Our sole purpose is to allow each and every individual that is eligible for membership, to be enrolled with the Osage Nation.  We have gone to great lengths the past six years to communicate by correspondence through the mail and by phone; to ensure that all individuals in our system were sent a letter of explanation regarding membership, along with a membership application to complete and return to our office. 

We have also done several mail-outs to Osages regarding missing addresses, we have written several articles in the Osage News trying to answer and clarify frequently asked questions, and also changed our business hours in April, 2006, to accommodate our Osage Constituents that were needing to call in after hours with questions regarding membership or come in after hours to apply for their membership cards in order to vote in the June 5, 2006 Osage Elections. 

We have made every possible and necessary change to give our Osage people the most convenient, accurate, and friendly service possible.

We hope that you find this site to be a convenient and easy tool to help you stay current on membership issues, but also a helpful, communicative tool to stay in touch with our office.   Please feel free to browse through our web page and email us with any questions or concerns that you may have.  Thank you.
