“I feel like it is a constant duty to help educate people and help them understand this city…”

… People grew up here, having no clue that Omaha was a Tribe or that all these words that we use in Nebraska are our traditional language. It is frustrating sometimes as [a] teacher and going into the classroom and not [being represented] in our Nebraska history books and not having any recognition. We really do have to take it upon ourselves to help people understand and give them the basic ‘Omaha 101.’”

~Valita Mi’oux’sah, from the book Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
