Osage name

[Tom Leonard]

<http://preview.artstor.org.ezproxy1.lib.ou.edu/SRU/validator.htm?id=%2FzJDciJIKTMxKS8wdTs%3D&source=swr&sourceid=I10678>If 
you check on the Smithsonian website (http://siris-archives.si.edu/) you 
will find at least seven (7) photographs of this individual. Smithsonian 
has it listed as O-tho'-wa-the, or "Well to Follow".

Also, if I am not mistaken the family has abbreviated the name and now 
goes by "Lohah".

Hope this helps.
