Historical Sketch of the Omaha Tribe of
Indians in Nebraska, by Alice C.
Fletcher
The Omaha tribe of Indians live in the State
of Nebraska about 80 miles north of the city
of Omaha, on a reservation 12 miles in
length north and south, and bounded on the
east by the Missouri River and on the west
by the Sioux City and Omaha Railroad. Of the
various tribes living in Nebraska when the
white settlers first entered the Territory
the Omaha are the only Indians remaining
upon their ancient home lands.
Hunting Customs of the Omaha, by
Alice C. Fletcher
In the life of the American Indian so much
has ever depended upon the skill of the
hunter that in the hazards of the chase he
has sought supernatural aid to supplement
his own inadequate powers; thus, in every
tribe, we find rites connected with hunting
carefully observed, and frequently forming
an important part of the tribal ceremonies.

Indians, Peabody Museum

concerning the preternatural and the
manifestations of the supernatural among
them, it is needful to know something of
their beliefs relating to the origin and the
future of mankind.

Omaha Indian Sociology
The real name of the Omahas is "Umanhan."
It is explained by a tradition obtained from
a few members of the tribe. When the
ancestors of the Omahas, Ponkas, Osages, and
several other cognate tribes traveled down
the Ohio to its mouth, they separated on
reaching the Mississippi.

North of Mexico, by Frederick W.
Hodge
During the early exploration and settlement

Indian Tribes of North
America, by John R. Swanton
From the date of its first appearance in
1891 the Powell map of "Linguistic Families

proved of the widest utility. It has been
reissued several times and copied into
numerous publications. There has, however,
been almost equal need of a map giving the
location of the tribes under the several
families.
