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:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
