Omaha Natives

An old garment from the “Omaha” Indians living in northeastern Nebraska. This garment, made of leather, silk, beads and bones, is decorated with a crescent and a star. Since they spoke a language very close to the Dakota language, they were seen as a tribe of the Dakota. Omahas, who live in the “Great Plains” in the middle of North America, are also called “Plains Natives”. What a coincidence that the name of these Plains Indians living in the “Plains Region” is “Omaha”.

Oba / Ova [Oma / Obo], as it is known, is a word of Turkish origin and means “slightly sloping, wide and narrow plains and plateaus that are hollow compared to their surroundings”. It has also become the name of the nomadic houses established in these regions. The native name “Omaha” means nothing more than “Plain”. They are also seen as relatives with the “AyOva” (Iowa) natives living in the same region.

It is a work dated to the same period as the other crescent and star top. (1800s) It has a Crescent and a Star, a wolf-like creature, Kün (Sun) and a tamga. This tamga is a tamga that we often see as one of the Tatar – Nogay Turkish tamga. It is called both the “bull” and the “wolf” tamga. (It is depicted as a head and two ears and horns on it) The one that is not completely round, more flat and flat, is called “Ot” tamga in Turkish symbols.

(It is depicted with soil and two tufts of grass on it) There are also similar derivatives of this tamga. Can the coexistence of these four values and the name Omaha (Plain Natives) with Turkish culture be explained by an equivalence? – Kürşad BAYTOK
