Portions of classic anthropological texts (particularly Fletcher and La Flesches The Omaha Tribe), Omaha narratives, and other historical and contemporary accounts are repeatedeach time in a different, more enlightening contextin a circle of stories seamlessly woven around Umonhonti. The result is an innovative account that effortlessly glides between past and present.
