    A Proud Past - A Bright Future The Omaha Nation Visits Bellevue April 11, 2007 The ceremony on Wednesday, April 11, 2007, commemorated the restoration of the graves of Omaha Chief Big Elk, Susan Fontenelle Neals, Lucien and Meumbane Fontenelle, and over 1,000 military graves. It was a celebration of a chapter in history that unites us. In the spring, 2006, Logan Fontenelle, Dr. John Deegan, and Phil Kaldahl began working together to develop a further understanding of the history of the Bellevue/Offutt Community. Mr. Fontenelle, great, great, great grandson of Chief Big Elk, visited Bellevue’s secondary schools and began speaking to the Bellevue Board of Education and students about the role Chief Big Elk and the Omaha Nation played in the development of the community. Bellevue students decided to raise funds to help restore the gravestone of Chief Big Elk, add a gravestone for Susan Fontenelle Neals, granddaughter to Chief Big Elk, add a bench with the abbreviated history, and add a stone for Chief Logan Fontenelle at Fontenelle Forest. Mission and Logan Fontenelle Middle School students and Bellevue East and Bellevue West High Schools FBLA students raised $3,000 for the project. There are over 1,000 military veterans buried in the Bellevue Cemetery. The Bellevue Public Schools and City of Bellevue worked together to clean up and reset the stones. The Bellevue East and Bellevue West High Schools AFJROTC worked with Todd Addison and members of the City of Bellevue in the clean up project. The History that Unites Us Omaha Chief Big Elk, U.

  • Nebraska State Historical Society & Film Records: 1878-Current Cubic Ft.: 165.5 Approx
    ARCHIVES RECORD RG014 Nebraska. Nebraska State Historical Society & film Records: 1878-current Cubic ft.: 165.5 Approx. # of Items: 350 boxes and oversize HISTORICAL NOTE The Nebraska State Historical Society is the oldest state institutions organized as the Nebraska Historical and Library Association in 1867. On September 25, 1878 this association was reorganized as the Nebraska State Historical Society. The University of Nebraska provided space to house the records and property of the Society, and the first annual meetings were held at the University. In 1883 the Nebraska State Historical Society was designated a state institution and the legislature made an appropriation to carry on Society activities. Because of this appropriation, the Society was able to begin publishing the first volume of Transactions and Reports. The Society is governed by a twelve- member executive board elected by members and three who are gubernatorial appointees. It is assisted by the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation which solicits and accepts gifts of real or personal property for the use and benefit of the Nebraska State Historical Society and gives financial support to many of its programs. The first Secretary of the Nebraska State Historical Society was Dr. Samuel Aughey of the University of Nebraska, who served until 1885 when Professor George E. Howard assumed this position. Howard remained Secretary and Superintendent of the Society until 1891 when he was succeeded by Howard W. Caldwell, also of the University of Nebraska. A staff of permanent employees was retained during Caldwell's administration and the Society began more active work in the collection and preservation of materials relating to Nebraska's history.
