This French Catholic religious medal was found at the Canville Trading Post in Neosho County near the Osage Reservation. It was donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1994. One side reads: N. D. du Sacre Coeur Priez Pour Nous (Our Lady of the Sacred Heart pray for us). The other side reads: Joseph du Sacre Couer Priez Pour N. (Joseph of the Sacred Heart pray for us). The Canville Trading Post was established in 1847 by A. B. Canville. When the Osage reservation land was ceded to the United States in 1870, the Osage left for Oklahoma and Canville followed in 1872.
