Excerpt from Oo-Mah-Ha Ta-Wa-Tha: Omaha City Most of the illustrations are the produc tions and reproductions of the brush and pencil of the daughter of E-sta-mah-za (iron Eye), noted chief of the'omahas, pronounced by the tribe, Oo-mah-ha The book also contains a copy of the treaty with the Omahas by which instrument the title of' the land upon which Omaha City and the trans-mis sissippi Exposition is located passed to the United States government in 1854. Repro ductions of the photographs of all, except one, of the Chiefs (tah - wah-gah-ha, or Village Maker, feared the camera, therefore his picture was never taken) who signed the treaty, with a short character sketch of each. The illus trations by Inshta Theumba (bright Eyes) are believed to be the first artistic work by an American Indian ever published; and the book will be entertaining on that account alone. It is hoped that a souvenir of this kind will not only recall the wonderful prog ress made by the white people who have found homes in the valley of the Mississippi, but create and forever perpetuate a kindly feeling for the remnant of the Indian people still remaining, and who are slowly struggling upward toward a higher Civilization.
