Description: Although Nebraska's largest city bears their name, the Omaha Indians are unfamiliar to many people outside the scholarly community. Betraying the Omaha Nation is the first comprehensive history of these people during the years 1790-1916. Tracing events from the Omahas' glory days under Chief Black Bird though the loss of most of their land during the World War I era, Judith A. Boughter brings to light the Omahas' complex and ultimately tragic story.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [259]-271) and index.
Based on the author's thesis (master's)--University of Nebraska.
