Who we are
Oklahoma-Occitania (OK-OC)
Founded in Lafrançaise (Tarn-et-Garonne) on 8 September 1989 by a dozen enthusiasts, including Jean-Claude Drouilhet, our association has spent more than 35 years weaving and strengthening bonds of friendship and cultural exchange between the Osage tribe of Oklahoma and the people of Occitania, especially around Montauban.
Our mission
Revive a story of friendship
In 1829, three exhausted Osage people found refuge in Montauban after two years wandering in Europe. In 1989, OK-OC renewed that friendship.
Support exchanges
OK-OC encourages cultural, educational, tourist and economic exchanges between the Osage Nation and Occitania.
Make our cultures shine
Through art, language, food and traditions, we share our cultures with respect and curiosity.
