Wednesday, September 23,
1992, the Osage Tribe in coop-
eration with the Osage Agency
honored the memory of two of
its most well-known and well-
loved individuals, Joseph Ed-
ward "Buck" and Gloria Maude
"Maudie" Cheshewalla. A
memorial plaque honoring Buck
and Maudie, which is located
on the flag pole in front of the
Agency, was formally dedi-
cated with a special ceremony
on this day.
The dedication began at 10
a.m. with the Superintendent
of the Osage Agency, Mr. Jack
Shoemate, announcing the
opening ceremony. He recog-
nized members of the Cheshe-
walla and Blackbird families,
and dignitaries who were pre-
sent. Next came the raising of
the American Flag and the
Osage Flag Song. The presenta-
tion of colors was presented by
American Legion Post 198.
The invocation was given by
Rev. Raymond RedCorn. Guest
speakers were Mr. D. E. "Bill"
Martin, longtime councilman of
the Osage Tribe and family
friend; Mr. Mark Freeman, Jr.,
well-known area cattleman and
relative of the family, and Mr.
Joseph B. "Joe" Cheshewalla,
son of Buck and Maudie.
An arts and crafts display
featuring the works of Maudie
and memorabilia of Buck was
displayed at the Osage Tribal
Museum. Arts and crafts dem-
onstrations from Maudie's form-
er students and invited artisans
were also displayed. Finger
weaving displays were done by
Ms. Davy Watts and Ms. Chris
Johnson, of Fairfax, OK. Ribbon
work displays were by Ms. Jo-
sephine Tillman and Ms. Ruth
Shaw, and Beadwork displays
were by Mr. Pat Tallchief, all
of Fairfax. The men's roach
displays were by Mr. Romaine
Shackelford, of Pawhuska. A
special thanks to each and ev-
ery craftsman, Maudie and
Buck would have been proud.
Refreshments were served on
the campus adjacent to the Mu-
seum. There were approxi-
mately 300 people in atten-
dance.

Carol Revard, Ms. Larraine
