As has been pointed out already "princess" is a European title and wouldn't be one used by Native American tribes. Genealogists cringe when they hear someone suggest there is an "Indian Princess" in their family tree since that term wasn't used. It is sort of a red flag that the story probably isn't true. So I'd be interested in your source and when and where the Osage used this "title." Thanks! Joan
