Today they live in modern houses but historically the Osage (Wazhazhe) people built long-houses similar to those of the woodlands tribes. These were grouped together in semi-permanent villages; hunting parties used portable tipi-like lodges.

Osage lodges were built by driving into the ground upright posts, about twenty feet high, with crotched tops as a rest for the ridge pole, over which were bent small poles, fastened to stakes about four feet high. The ends of the lodge were formed by broad slabs, and the whole covered with rush matting. There was generally a door on each side, the fire being in the centre, with an aperture in the roof for the escape of the smoke. A raised platform, covered with skins, at one end, served to display the household treasures of the host, and as a place of honour for the guests. The lodges varied in length from thirty-six to one hundred feet.
