Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explores the area …
Years: 1541 - 1541
Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explores the area of present Kansas in 1541 and finds the region occupied primarily by Osage, Pawnee, and Kaw peoples.
The Osage, a Siouan-speaking people whose traditional homeland lies in the Osage River area of western Missouri, live in wigwam-type mat-covered houses; they combine bison hunting with cultivation of maize, beans, and squash.
Among the Osage people, relatives in the male line form clans that are grouped into two divisions, each headed by a hereditary chief.
A council of male elders assists the chiefs in ceremonial and political affairs.
