Subject Source: Local sources
Scope Note: " The Omaha Tribe originated in the eastern part of the United States, around the Ohio River Valley. They are a part of the larger Sioux nation, sharing linguistic roots with their Dakota and Ponca kin. Historians believe that sometime around the 14th century, the Omaha people migrated westward, eventually settling in the present-day Nebraska area by the 1700s...Today, the Omaha Tribe’s official headquarters is in Macy, Nebraska. The tribe operates its own housing authority, law enforcement, and various social and health services. They also run a college, the Nebraska Indian Community College, which offers courses on Omaha language and culture, in addition to standard academic subjects." - Omaha, Entrepreneurship in Omaha
