"Omaha Sociology" by James Owen Dorsey is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work serves as an ethnological report on the Omaha Indians, exploring their social structure, kinship systems, and various cultural practices. Through detailed analysis and observations, Dorsey aims to provide insights into the lives of the Omaha people, making it essential for those interested in Native American studies and anthropology. The opening of "Omaha Sociology" sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the Omaha tribes, beginning with an introduction that details their linguistic group within the Siouan family and offers insights into early migrations. It discusses the tribal identity of the Omaha, including their traditional name and location history, while introducing key concepts such as the tribal circle, gentile systems, and kinship. This portion serves to establish an understanding of the Omaha's sociocultural context, paving the way for further examination of their organizational structures and customs throughout the subsequent chapters.
