Cultural Context

In traditional Osage culture, numbers held special significance beyond counting. They were used in ceremonies, storytelling, and maintaining the sacred balance of the natural world.

The number four (𝓉𝑜𝓅𝒶) was particularly sacred, representing the four directions, four seasons, and the foundation of Osage spiritual beliefs.
