Feeling pride for your Osage District? Personalize your vehicle with the Osage Nation Tax Commission’s personalized District tags.

Tags specifying Grayhorse, Hominy and Pawhuska Districts are now available and cost $25. Since 2011, the Tax Commission has offered personalized tags with the Osage Orthography spelling out Osage People, pronounced “Wah-Zha-Zhi Ni-Ka-She.”

The Osage Nation has had tribal tags since 1997. The 31^st Osage Tribal Council selected the current blue design, which used to feature teepees, buffaloes and a horse rider.

According to a 2011 Osage News article, prior to the 2006-reformed government, the Tribal Council hosted a poster contest to select a new tag design, which drew several entries. Barbara Alkire, a former government employee who is non-Osage, created the current and winning tag design, according to the Tax Commission. 

Osages interested in registering their vehicles with a tribal tags must provide the Tax Commission with documentation including proof of Osage Nation membership, vehicle insurance and proof of Oklahoma residency.
