  • Omaha Images of Renewal
    OMAHA IMAGES OF RENEWAL ROBIN RIDINGTON, Department Of Anthropology And Sociology, University Of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 2B2. ABSTRACT/RESUME In 1911 Fletcher and La Flesche published their comprehensive volume on the Omaha, written from an Omaha viewpoint as one of the last comprehen- sive ethnographies of a northern plains society. The author reviews their work, noting how easily it can be comprehended in terms of the Omaha of today, a society which has not disappeared, but which has undergone change and renewal. En 1911 Fletcher et La Flesche publièrent leur ouvrage d'ensemble sur les Omaha, rédigé du point de vue des Omaha, comme une des dernières eth- nographies complètes d'une société des plaines du nord. L'auteur fait le compte rendu de leur oeuvre, remarquant combien il est aisé de la com- prendre dans les termes des Omaha d'aujourd'hui, une société qui n'a pas disparue, mais qui a subit un changement et un renouvellement. The Canadian Journal of Native Studies VII, 2 (1987):149-164. 150 Robin Ridington Introduction The Omaha are one of the five Dhegiha Siouan tribes. In early historic times they were farmers and bison hunters in lands bordering the middle and upper Missouri River. Today they occupy a reservation in eastern Nebraska. During their buffalo hunting days, the Omaha practiced an elaborate ceremonial order.1 Much of what outsiders know today about traditional Omaha ceremony was recorded by Alice Fletcher and Francis La Resche during the last decades of the nineteenth century. Francis La Flesche was himself a mem- ber of the tribe and experienced many of the ceremonies as a participant.

The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.

  • History of the Umoⁿhoⁿ
    History of the Umoⁿhoⁿ Aho! Thathithe udon! Hello! It is good that you are here! ̵ UNL Omaha Language class See emblem By Robyn Tait Profile Link: Elise Harlan Introduction: To learn more about the real history and origins of the Omaha people, Tait examines historical sources that depict the complex relationship between Omaha Indians and whites. Although Omaha tribes thrived on trade relations with whites until the eighteenth century, by the nineteenth century, white dominance had created dire circumstances for tribes in which they often either perished or had to leave the city. The author also traces the incessant struggle between white settlers and native Omaha Indians that resulted in leasing and ultimately losing their own lands, a process that eventually led to the deterioration of traditional tribal cultures. To give a glimpse into the history of the UMOnHOn (Omaha) people, I will rely heavily on historian Judith Boughter’s Betraying the Omaha Nation, 1790–1916. This is the first and, I believe, only comprehensive history of the Omaha to date, written and researched primarily as Boughter’s master’s thesis for the History Department at University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) under Dr. Michael Tate (Boughter xi). It is also the only book on the Omaha that Elsie Harlan endorsed (insert WCAP interview of Elsie Harlan here). In addtion, I will draw from an interview with Robin Riddington (Omaha member), Dennis Hastings’ Blessing for a Long time: The Sacred Pole of the Omaha Tribe (on the history of their culture and recent events of cultural renewal), an interview with Alice Fletcher (nineteenth century ethnographer), and Omaha member Francis La Flesche’s unprecedented, comprehensive study, The Omaha Nation.

  • Pawnee Tribe, Sioux and the Otoe-Missouri Tribe
    Plains Indians By Nicole Kotrous Chapter 1 Plains Indians By Nicole Kotrous Chapter 2 Introduction Years and years ago, buffalo and Indians roamed the plains of North America. It could be that those very buffalo and Indians roamed in your backyard! Imagine... it’s a hot summer night, you’re dashing through the seemingly endless prairie grass. Your bow and arrows bouncing against your back, sweat trickling down your forehead. Your cheeks are blotchy red from running. You look up and meet eyes with a brutal, ferocious animal. You draw your bow, and let the arrow go..swoosh! You have hit the animal. You drop to your knees and begin praying to your one and only God, Wakan Tanka. You thank him for once again feeding your family for another lengthy winter. Plains Indians In the years before European settlers came to the United States, Native American tribes lived all across the land. Several tribes lived in what we call the Plains, or the middle portion of the country. I am going to focus on five Plains Indian tribes. These include: the Ponca tribe, the Omaha tribe, the Pawnee tribe, Sioux and the Otoe-Missouri tribe. Some of these Native- American tribes were nomadic hunters. That means that they traveled all year round in search of plants, animals, food, and fresh water. They also traveled to visit and trade with other tribes. When they traded, they traded for stuff they didn’t have. For example they got horses, shells, beads, and stone that was soft enough to carve, and rock that could be chipped into weapon heads, or points.

Thorne, University of California, Los Angeles "He who is a legend in his own time, is ruled by that legend. It may begin in absolute innocence. But, to cover up flaws, and maintain the myth of Divine Power, one must employ desperate measures."1 Abstract. Black Bird (I75o?-I8oI) was an exceptionally dynamic chief who ex- ercised forceful leadership over the Omaha. He is reputed to have used arsenic to destroy his political enemies. He extorted tribute from the French fur traders, and under his leadership, the Omaha and Ponca blockaded the Missouri River in the mid-I79os. The conventional view that Black Bird was a despot and usurper is assessed, and it is speculated that his leadership may have represented "cycling"- the rebirth of a chiefdom-level society. In the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the Omaha Chief Black Bird 2-called "Oiseau Noir" by the French and "El Pajaro Negro" by the Spanish-gained a notorious reputation along the Missouri River because of his forceful leadership and his firm handling of fur traders. At the peak of his powers in the I79os, his influence extended beyond the Omaha to a wider regional sway over neighboring tribes.

  • The Experiences of American Indian Women at Hampton Institute, 1878-1923
    “Make Haste Slowly”: The Experiences of American Indian Women at Hampton Institute, 1878-1923 Jon L. Brudvig, Ph.D. University of Mary Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute was established in 1868 to serve the educational, economic, and spiritual needs of recently emancipated slaves living near Hampton Roads, Virginia. The institution’s founder and guiding force was General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, a former Union officer who commanded black troops during the Civil War.1 On April 13, 1878 General Armstrong welcomed a handful of American Indian students. These former prisoners of war came to Hampton from St. Augustine, Florida, with their warden, Richard Henry Pratt. Their presence at Hampton spawned the development of off-reservation boarding schools designed to transform American Indian pupils into replicas of their more assimilated neighbors. Humanitarians, educators, and government officials also hoped that the boarding schools would make tribal leaders more manageable and cooperative. The Plains wars, it appeared, had been replaced by a new type of battle, a struggle for the hearts, minds, and souls of the next generation of American Indian leaders.2 A short time after the Fort Marion party’s arrival, General Armstrong moved to expand the school’s Indian program by implementing immediate measures designed to attract female natives to Hampton. According to the principal, "the coeducation of Indian boys and girls with its lessons of mutual respect and helpfulness in the class rooms and work rooms is the hope, and the only hope of permanent Indian civilization."3 The first 1 Samuel Chapman Armstrong (hereafter abbreviated SCA), “From the Beginning,” in Memories of Old Hampton (Hampton, VA, 1909), 133-50; Mary Lou Hultgren and Paulette Fairbanks Molin, To Lead and to Serve: American Indian Education at Hampton Institute, 1878-1923 (Virginia Beach, VA, 1989), 6.
