Omaha Language and the Omaha Way
Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
The Omaha Language and the Omaha WayĀ provides a comprehensive textbook for students, scholars, and laypersons to learn to speak and understand the language of the Omaha Nation. Mark Awakuni-Swetland, Vida Woodhull Stabler, Aubrey Streit Krug, Loren Frerichs, and Rory Larson have collaborated with elder speakers, including Alberta Grant Canby, Emmaline Walker Sanchez, Marcella Woodhull Cavou, and Donna Morris Parker, to write this book.
The original and creative pedagogical method used in this textbook-teaching the Omaha language through Omaha culture-consists of a structured series of lesson plans. It is the result of a generous collaboration between the Department of Anthropology at the University of NebraskaāLincoln and the UmoĢāæhoāæ Language and Culture Center at UmoĢāæhoāæ Nation Public School in Macy, Nebraska. The method draws on the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of Awakuni-Swetland to illustrate the Omaha values of balance and integration. The contents are shaped into two parts, each of which complements the other-just as the Earth and Sky do. Ā
This textbookĀ features an introduction by Awakuni-Swetland on the history and phonology of the Omaha language; lessons from the UmoĢāæhoāæ Language and Culture Center at Macy, with a writing system quick sheet; situation quick sheets; lessons on games; lessons on spring, summer, fall, and winter; an Omaha language resource list; and a glossary in the standard Macy orthography of the Omaha language. The textbook also includes cultural lessons in the language by Awakuni-Swetland and lessons from the Omaha language class at the University of NebraskaāLincoln.
The Omaha Language and the Omaha WayĀ offersĀ a linguistic foundation for tribal members, students, scholars, and laypersons, featuring Omaha community lessons, the standard Macy orthography, and UNL orthography all under one cover.
