Description

The Omaha Tribe is thought of as by some anthropologists to be an important and comprehensive study ever written about a Native American tribe. First published in 1911 as a report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, this classic treatise is in accordance with twenty-nine years of study and commentary in the field. “Nothing has been borrowed from other observers,” Alice C. Fletcher asserts. “Only original material gathered instantly from the native people has been used, and the author has striven to make as far as conceivable the Omaha his own interpreter.”

Volume I is devoted to tribal origins and early history, beliefs about the environment, rites pertaining to the individual, tribal organization and government, the sacred pole, and the quest for food. Volume II, also to be had as a Bison Book, considers language, social life, music, religion, warfare, remedy of disease, and death and burial customs.
