The exhibition Against the Current. The Omaha, Francis La Flesche, and His Collection is the result of a multi-year collaboration between the teachers and students of Nebraska Indian Community College and a Berlin curatorial team. Its starting point is a collection of objects put together by Francis La Flesche (1857–1932) on behalf of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin at the end of the 19th century.
What does it mean to be Umoⁿhoⁿ today? This question lies in the centre of the new installation that which will be on view from mid-November on. Contemporary cultural belongings will complement the historical La Flesche collection. The new cultural belongings embody the lived culture. And they pay witness to the resilience of the Umoⁿhoⁿ people
