Omaha tribe - Omaha (English spelling)

Japanese: オマハ族 - オマハぞく(英語表記)Omaha
Omaha tribe - Omaha (English spelling)
A North American Indian tribe with a grassland culture. Together with other Siouan tribes, they migrated west from the Atlantic coast, settling temporarily in Minnesota in the 17th century, then moving further into Nebraska. In the mid-19th century, they sold most of their land to the U.S. government, and designated reservations were established in their place. They farm in permanent settlements of round huts in spring and autumn, and travel in tents called tepees during the hunting season. Ten clans were integrated into the "sky" and "earth" half-tribes, and the location of their hunting camps symbolically indicates their roles. There was a hierarchy of status, but it was possible to rise in status by sharing horses, blankets, and providing food at festivals.

草原型文化をもつ北アメリカインディアンの一民族。他のスー語系諸族とともに大西洋岸から西へ移動し,17世紀にはミネソタ州に一時定着したが,その後さらにネブラスカ州に移動。 19世紀中頃にはほとんどの土地を合衆国政府に売渡し,代りに指定居留地がのちになって設けられた。春と秋には円形小屋の定住集落で農耕を行い,狩猟期にはティピーというテントで移動する。 10の氏族が「空」と「大地」の半族に統合され,狩猟キャンプの配置にはその役割が象徴的に示されている。身分の上下もあったが,ウマ,毛布の分配,祭りの供応などにより身分の上昇も可能であった。
