Some Indians in Nebraska say they are concerned about events for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial.

Judi M. gaiashkibos, a Ponca tribal member who is executive director of the Nebraska Indian Affairs Commission, and Rudi Mitchell, a commissioner and Omaha tribal member, say events in the state should highlight tribes from the area. They point to the Otoe-Missouria, who lived in Nebraska before being removed to Oklahoma.

But some of the events feature tribes from outside the area. "I don't think that would go over too well," she told The Omaha World-Herald.
