Wakhakukdhin

Wakhakukdhin was an Osage village on the Neosho River, within a country of prairie and wooded waterways. The Osage, or Wahzhazhe, maintained villages and hunting grounds across the transition between the Ozark uplands and the southern Plains. Families cultivated crops near their settlements and traveled to hunt bison. The Neosho joined other rivers leading toward the Arkansas, linking communities across a broad inland region.
