Abstract

Michael Tate has gathered nearly 1900 documents related to the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska and Iowa, providing the reader of The Upstream People with a valuable research tool. Divided into 32 sections with cultural or historical subject headings, each entry is accompanied by a summary and/or critique. Since each item is provided with only a single index entry, browsing the book does require a bit of creativity. Nonetheless, it is a handy device for anyone interested in Omaha research materials.
