Summary: The city of Omaha is named after the Umonhon people. Though removed to a reservation north of the city more than 150 years ago, the Umonhon people have maintained many cultural and personal connections to sites in the city. In Placing Memories, tribal members share their experiences in the neighborhoods, natural landscape and historical sites of Omaha, articulating both a sense of loss for broken connections and a sense of pride in their enduring presence in the area.
(NOTE: The n’s in “Umonhon” - should/could be superscript, but the spelling as shown is acceptable.)
