The Cultural Center is located in the American Legion building at 1449 West Main in Pawhuska.  We share facilities with the American Legion Post 198 and the American Legion Women's Auxiliary.  We began work on the Cultural Center for the Osage Tribe in 2004.  The reason the Cultural Center was established was to ensure the survival of  our ancestral traditions, values and way of life.continue to be taught; and to assist any Osage who is not familiar with their own culture, in learning the ways of their ancestors.  If you would like to contact us our mailing address is:
