It was a time of upheaval, when the lives of the Omaha were marked by loss of land, racism, and violence.

The effects can still be felt today. This book offers insight into the life and work of La Flesche and the process of organizing the exhibition Against the Current. The catalog of objects written by Francis La Flesche is being published here for the first time.
