To begin Digital Learning lessons and activities, we are discussing the first people here long before the pioneers. Nearly 6 million Native Americans populated much of the land in the western hemisphere prior to European colonialism. More specifically here in Nebraska, there were a wealth of various tribes and nations. From the Omaha along the Missouri River to the Oglala Sioux in the Panhandle, the first people here had their own stories and traditions that need to be told. Please see the more general resources from NET, partnered with History Nebraska and the Nebraska Department of Education.
