Early Osage Homes: Lodges, Villages & Family Life

Students brainstorm how to build shelter from natural materials, examine Osage Lodge poster with photos & text, then cut-out a paper model of lodge.

Students read a Q&A Fact Sheet and answer review questions on physical and social aspects of lodge and village life.

Students read journal excerpts, extrapolate info, and evaluate source credibility.

Students read (or are read-aloud to) about Osage child-rearing equipment and customs; then design, color, and cut out a model cradleboard.
