E. Sean Standing Bear | Standing Bear is the son of George Eugene Standing Bear and the great-grandson of Chief Fred Lookout and Julia Lookout.  He is from an esteemed family of political and cultural leaders, and his understanding of Osage life and culture comes from a unique perspective that was shaped by conversations with his grandmother, Mary Nora Lookout Standing Bear. Standing Bear has spent years studying the Osage Nation Museum collection and is knowledgeable about its holdings and history. His extensive experience with the collection, combined with his distinctive knowledge gained through oral histories, will make for a not-to-be-missed conversation.
