Omaha And Ponka Letters is a book written by James Owen Dorsey that presents a collection of letters written by members of the Omaha and Ponka tribes in the late 19th century. The letters were originally written in the Omaha-Ponka language and were translated into English by Dorsey himself. The book provides an insight into the daily lives, customs, and beliefs of the Omaha and Ponka tribes during a period of significant change in their history. The letters cover a range of topics, including family life, religious practices, and political issues, and offer a unique perspective on the challenges faced by Native American communities during this time. In addition to the translated letters, the book also includes detailed notes and commentary by Dorsey, providing further context and analysis of the content. Overall, Omaha And Ponka Letters is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, and offers a rare glimpse into the experiences and perspectives of these two important tribes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
