Osage Indian Symbols

World Peace Jewelry: Symbols of the Osage Indians

Since we moved to the Missouri Ozarks, we've been fascinated to learn about this region's first known inhabitants, Native Americans known as the Osage.

The Osage believed they were the special people from the stars. Grandfather Sun had sent them to the Ozark land to care for it and bring order. This was his favorite land. So the Star People made sure things stayed in their order and man did not ruin it by waste. They recognized the place of each thing on earth and were careful to do nothing to change nature's ways.

Some of their symbols:

Bells	the earth's center and rotation
Black	Night
Black and Red	Life everlasting
Blue	Earth's carpet of vegetation
2 Blue Lines	Water
Brown	Mother Earth
Clear Blue or Turquoise	Spritual qualities of sky, water and plant life
Corn	Embodies both the male and female; the staff of life
Feathers	Carry prayers to the Creator
Hawks	Good medicine; the redtailed named after Grandfather the Sun
Quartz	Used to receive direction from God
Red	Day
Red Cedar	The tree of life
Turtle	The rays of Grandfather the Sun
White	The faultless body at Creation
Wild Turkeys	The wildness of earth and the mystery of creation
3 Lines or Serrations	The Supreme Law: respect, harmony, love
New Cell	New Cell
