Order the 2024 Osage Foundation Collectible Christmas Ornament
This year’s commemorative ornament honors the cultural significance of cedar in Osage traditions. Cedar is central to purification rituals, often used to cleanse and prepare for ceremonies or blessings. Burning cedar represents a time-honored tradition of spiritual renewal, whether for sacred gatherings, personal blessings, or clearing spaces of negative energy. The 2024 ornament, the thirteenth in the series, is a symbol of this enduring practice and is designed to celebrate Osage heritage and spiritual resilience.
Each year, a new collectible ornament commemorates an aspect of Osage culture, creating a lasting tradition to be shared across generations. All proceeds support the charitable mission of the Osage Nation Foundation.
