ysabetwordsmithHere are the setting notes for "That Big Booming Drum."
Read about the history of Nebraska. See maps of its native tribes and modern reservations.
A road sign marks the border of the Omaha Indian Reservation.
Farms cover the rolling hills in parts of the reservation. Treelines mark where creeks flow.
Indian ponies are large ponies or small horses with a tendency toward many white markings such as pinto or appaloosa.
Macy, Nebraska is the largest town on the Omaha Reservation. Yellow Smoke Street is a short span of Bank Street near the intersection with US-75. The far side of US-75 has Bank Street as BIA Road 201. In Terramagne, 411 Yellow Smoke Street is Yellow Smoke Park. This is a small dirt park between Park-Hill Housing and the forest bordering US-75. It is used for dirt bikes, off-road vehicles, and other rough activities. The Ebonies & Ivories use this as a fallback position in case Omaha gets overrun, because it's easy to find but there's nothing to break there.
The Omaha Tribal Administration Social Services Building has a mosaic on the front. A sign lists the Tribal Department Offices.
This aerial view shows the powwow grounds in the park.
A park pavilion provides shelter.
The powwow includes a street fair with people selling food, clothes, and other items.
This booth sells Indian tacos and frybread.
A flint vendor displays wares on tarps.
"The Drum" at a powwow consists of several men playing a large drum.
Powwow dancers wear regalia in various styles. Some are widespread throughout Turtle Island, while others are regional.
