Nebraska tribes renew historic connection with Oklahoma tribe
Posted: Monday, April 8, 2013
The Omaha Tribe, the Ponca Tribe and the Otoe-Missouria Tribe met in Nebraska on Saturday to renew their historic ties.
The tribes once lived in the same area of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. Some Ponca and Otoe-Missouria were forced to move to Oklahoma so the tribes held a tobacco ceremony to restore their long relationship.
"It's a big gathering," organizer Calvin Harlan, a member of the Omaha Tribe, told The Sioux City Journal. "It’s a renewal of sorts of a ceremony that lasted hundreds of years."
The last ceremony of this kind took place in 1960.
