The Osage Tribe: Two Versions Of The Child-Naming Rite is a book written by Francis La Flesche that explores the traditional child-naming ceremony of the Osage Native American tribe. La Flesche, who was himself a member of the Osage tribe, provides two different versions of the ceremony, each with their own unique characteristics and significance.The book begins with an introduction to the Osage tribe and their cultural practices, including their belief in the importance of names and the role of the child-naming ceremony in their community. La Flesche then presents the first version of the ceremony, which involves a series of rituals and prayers performed by the child's parents and other members of the tribe.The second version of the ceremony, which is presented later in the book, is a more simplified version of the first, but still holds deep meaning and significance for the Osage people. La Flesche provides detailed descriptions of each step in both versions of the ceremony, including the selection of names, the use of sacred herbs and objects, and the role of the community in supporting the child and their family.Throughout the book, La Flesche also provides insights into the broader cultural context of the Osage tribe, including their language, social structure, and relationship with the natural world. The Osage Tribe: Two Versions Of The Child-Naming Rite is a fascinating and informative look at the traditions and beliefs of one of America's most important indigenous communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
