The Osage are American Indian People of the central Midwest.


The Osage call themselves Wa-zha-zhe, Children of the Middle Water. The name Osage comes from the European settlers' attempt to approximate the pronunciation of the native name. Today, the Osage Nation occupies a reservation in northern Oklahoma.
