Representations in Media
- Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote a series of children's books, known as Little House on the Prairie (1932-1943). The novel Little House on the Prairie was based on her family's pioneer days in Kansas; it included accounts of the Osage, on whose land they were squatting.
- The pilot movie for the TV series, Little House on the Prairie, based on the novel by the same name, portrayed the family of Laura Ingalls Wilder as moving to Kansas in the late 19th century. (They were among the illegal white squatters on Osage land, according to the author Dennis McAuliffe.)
- The Osage Nation is featured in the Daniel H. Wilson novel Robopocalypse.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
