Osage Nation’s New State-Of-The-Art Chapel To Help Preserve Tribe’s Traditions The Osage Nation is working to keep its traditions alive with a new state-of-the-art chapel. The chapel will replace a much smaller one in the tribe's Indian Village in Pawhuska. "Was originally a schoolhouse. So, a lot of our parents my father was in his 80s when he passed, and he went to school in that little schoolhouse," Osage congresswoman Paula Stadler said. Stadler said for nearly 70 years, the little Wakon Iron Chapel at the Osage Indian Village was the center of tribal culture and tradition. She said the tribe's three villages in Pawhuska, Hominy, and Grayhorse are their most sacred properties.
