Phonetically: Knee-buh-thas-kuh-kee. Any way you spell it or spit it out it still means “Flat Water” in the language of the Omaha Tribe.
Skilled hunters.
The Omaha Tribe was here long before any of us and there is still a remnant of this proud people.
I am fascinated by our Native American’s heritage. Some great books available at your local library. A couple of my favorite authors, Mari Sandoz and John Niehart.
The original name of the Omaha “Quapaw” means “those going against the wind or current“. Seems to be a direct connection to me, no wonder I consider this the best trail run in Nebraska.
