Where Omaha Got Its
Name

Omaha, Nov. ITO the Editor
Of The Bee: We think the writer
in the Christian Science Monitor
who discussed the origin Of the
name Omaha had not the advantage
of the clear and interesting figure
of a tribe by that name mentioned
by W. Irving in Astoria"
The discussion took place several
months, maybe a full year, since.
The Platte is called the "Nebras-
ka" After passing which Mr.. Irv-
ing continues: The party halted
for part Of two days on the bank of
the river (Missouri), a little above
Papillion creek. to supply them
selves with oars and poles from the
| tough wood Of the oak, which Is not
met with higher up the Missouri y
The End Of May is mentioned later
and refers to May 2, 1911, when
some of the expedition returned to
St Louis, but ION the 10th Of May
the party arrived at the Omaha
pronounced Omawhaw) village
about $50 miles above the mouth OF
| the Missouri. and:
THE Omahas were once one OF
the numerous and powerful tribes
Of the prairies, vieing in warlike
might with the Sioux, the Pawnees
and other Of the principal tribes.
Their wars with the Sioux, how
ever, had thinned their ranks, and
two-thirds of their numbers"
Blackbird was one of the princi-
pal chiefs Of the Omahas, and from
all accounts fully deserved as black
a name as the vocabularies can sup
ply. He was furnished with arsenic
by designing whites, and before ad-
ministering it prophesied death to
| the ones who received the dose
which prophesies Of course usually
came true. He thus became the
"Borgia" Of the Indians. 1t is to
| his credit that he made a more
moderate use Of his secret than the
/ Borgias.
| Any one will be repaid to read
! chapter 16 of Astoria" which de-
scribes Blackbird's obsequies and
funeral. ut was to be on a hill
or promontory upward of 400 feet
in height, overlooking a great extent
OF the Missouri, from whence he
had been accustomed to watch for
the barks Of the white men. The
| Missouri washes the base Of the
promontory and, after winding and
doubling in many links and mazes
In the plain below, returns to with
ing 900 yards Of its starting place,
so that for 80 miles navigating with
sail and oar the voyager finds him
| self continually near to this sin
gular promontory as II spell-bound.
II the Omaha were so powerful
before the dawn of history, it's
hardly worth while to dispute the
source from whence Omaha de-
rives its name. The Blackstones
may be misnomers for Blackbird,
but Omaha is entitled to it's name.
