On this installment of ST, we learn about the Osage Nation Museum in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. This museum, per its website, aims to "foster the education of the public about the history, culture, and artistic expressions of the Osage people by preserving and developing collections as well as through exhibitions and educational programs that nurture creativity and encourage active learning." Our guest is Hallie Winter, the director and curator of this facility, who is now in her fouth year at the museum and previously worked at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY. Also on our show today, commentator Mark Darrah offers a piece called "Oklahoma in the Rear-View Mirror."
