Osage Prairie House Painting

I've used my grandfather's house in Hominy, Oklahoma, as a model but set it further out on the prairie. It includes outbuildings for outdoor living and an Osage Native American Church (Peyote Church) meeting house. As portrayed in Martin Scorsese's new movie, "Killers of the Flower Moon," one might have seen a house like this in the 1920s when Osages went through the Osage Reign of Terror. I suspect my grandfather would have built further out on the prairie like this in the 1920s to avoid the murders of wealthy Osages by unscrupulous individuals, as seen in Scorsese's movie. The Osages are one of the only tribes that have fixed wooden buildings for their Native American Church meetings (the last, tall, six-sided building on the left with it's small wood shed next to it). The buildings are called an 'altar" and are maintained by one family. Even though Osages don't have the money we had in the 1920s and 1930s, I still prefer to live in the country myself. The painting is signed on the lower right corner with my name in our Osage Indian script (pronounced Hoohtha Don) and in English.
