There are family homes surrounding the Osage dance grounds that include all three buildings.

"[2]The roundhouse is located on 40 acres platted separately from the rest of Hominy, and is owned by the Osage Nation.

The roundhouse is "a symbol of heritage, family, Osage culture and traditions".

In 2015 Osage Nation Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear ordered emergency repairs to the Round House when the roof looked to be on the verge of collapse and asked members of the Osage Nation Congress for funding to restore the Round House.

“Our intent is to completely restore it, as it was, to the way the people who remember it used it for our dances.”[2] Osage Congresswoman Alice Buffalohead, who is also a Committee Cook for the Hominy District, said saving the roundhouse and making it safe and functional again was important and needed for cultural preservation.
