ABSTRACT

The Omaha people are not designed to eat European food. The Europeans brought the food over. Their design was to plow the land and they planted their food by plowing and turning the soil over and raising their own domesticated animals such as beef, pork and others. That was their design and they got along with it simply because it is their design. That lifestyle is opposed to Indian living all from the land, living all from the wild animal. So, there’s two cultures, two foods and they clashed.
