- Scope and Contents
- La Flesche devoted a large amount of his field work to the study of Osage rituals, culminating in a three part monograph, The Osage Tribe. La Flesche appears to have saved intact only those parts of his drafts that were not ultimately published. These materials, including lyrical translations and miscellaneous notes, are filed according to their respective publications. La Flesche's War Ceremony and Peace Ceremony of the Osage was published posthumously; because he conducted the research for this text over a number of years and the date of completion is unknown, manuscript materials have been filed by publication date. La Flesche's Osage research dominated much of his career and many references to the tribe may be found among his correspondence. Further information on Osage sacred bundles, including their relationship to tattooing rites, is located elsewhere in the collection (subseries 2.12).
