关于印第安人的文章

几百年前，奥马哈族印第安人住在美国大西洋地区的中部及南部。后来，他们随着其他的平原印第安人(Plains Indian)渐渐移往西部并于南达科塔分散开来，最后就定居在现在的内布拉斯加。1854年时，受制于白人殖民的压力，奥马哈族将手中的大部分土地转卖给美国政府。今日，31,148英亩的奥马哈族印第安人保留区位于内布拉斯加的东北角。
奥马哈族印第安人原为农夫及猎人。他们的部落阶级分为酋长、祭司、巫师及平民。并按照共同的目标及义务来分组(称做部落)，各自为族人们运行不同的功能。大地部落负责战事及食物庆典，而天空部落则负责任何与超自然现象有关的庆典。今天，在保存及延续奥马哈族文化方面，音乐及口述常规仍旧扮演了一个重要的角色。内布拉斯加内最大的城镇奥马哈市即以此印地安部落为名。

Hundreds of years ago, the Omaha Indians lived in the middle and south Atlantic regions of the United States. They gradually migrated west with other Plains Indians until they split off in South Dakota and ended up in what is now Nebraska. In 1854 the Omaha tribe gave way to the pressure of incoming white settlers and sold the majority of the land they held to the U.S. government. Today, the Omaha Reservation is located in the northeastern corner of Nebraska on 31,148 acres.
The Omaha were traditionally farmers and hunters. Their structured class system included chiefs, priests, physicians, and commoners. Groups with common goals and duties -- called clans -- performed various functions for the tribe. The earth clan was responsible for ceremonies of war and food, and the sky clan was responsible for ceremonies relating to the supernatural. Today, music and oral tradition play important roles in the preservation and perpetuation of Omaha culture. The state's largest city, Omaha, is named after the tribe.
