Rita Hawzipta (Owasso High) and Reagan Bieligk (Holland Hall High) learned about archaeology and their Osage community's perspectives on heritage, and then worked with their instructors and graphic designer Sabrill Holcomb to craft the poster. We at OKPAN tip our hats to these talented young women!
