SUMMARY:Big Blue Reservation: Struggles and Hope of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe
DESCRIPTION:One hundred seventy years ago\, the Treaty of 1854 was passed by Congress\, authorizing the move of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe to the Big Blue Reservation in Gage County\, Nebraska. The Tribe watched as acre by acre of their land was sold off by the government and treaties were broken. In 1881\, the Tribe was moved from this reservation to Red Rock\, Oklahoma. \nThe Gage County Historical Society\, along with the Otoe-Missouria Tribe\, arranged a summer exhibit in 2024 to educate the public about this important part of American history. The Otoe-Missouria Tribe once called Southeast Nebraska home. Through the displacement of the people during the 1800s\, they lost sacred traditions. Big Blue Reservation: Struggles and Hope of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe includes their voices of how that loss affected them into the present. \nThe Tribe and the Society wanted this exhibit to travel to other institutions to provide a cultural history of Nebraska\, utilizing the Tribe’s perspective. As a result of this hard work\, the Gage County Historical Society’s traveling exhibit will open in the Great Plains Art Museum’s mezzanine gallery. This exhibit is on view in conjunction with Reflections of Our People\, Our Ways\, Our Land. \nThe Great Plains Art Museum is open Tuesday–Saturday\, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed major U.S. holidays\, University breaks\, and home football game Saturdays. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:"My Omaha" film and discussion - Midwest Theater
DESCRIPTION:MY OMAHA follows filmmaker Nick Beaulieu as he returns to his hometown amid the rising tensions of Donald Trump’s presidency and the Black Lives Matter movement. Fresh out of college\, he meets Leo Louis II\, an independent activist\, who introduces him to Omaha’s activism roots\, including the birthplace of Malcolm X in North Omaha. Simultaneously\, Nick grapples with the strained relationship he has with his pro-Trump father\, Randy\, who is suddenly diagnosed with stage-4 cancer. With a newfound sense of urgency\, Nick strives to reconcile with Randy through a series of difficult conversations. As the city faces crisis after the death of a protestor\, we see Leo’s efforts to unite Omaha. And as national politics further divide Americans\, we see Nick and Randy’s ability to bridge their differences. All together\, \nMY OMAHA paints the portrait of a city grappling with family conflict\, political and racial discord\, and the difficult search for common ground. It encourages viewers to consider how these challenges register in their own life\, providing an example for how embracing conversation with one another can heal divisions and create a better world. \nThe event will feature a Q&A after the screening. \nTickets are $5. \nFor more information about the film\, visit: https://www.myomahafilm.com/

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Melissa Fite Johnson
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nIn this workshop we’ll discuss how often poetry is perceived as something very serious—unsmiling writers wearing black and spouting purposefully obscure references. And while poetry is certainly sometimes that (or a version of that)\, it absolutely doesn’t have to be. There’s so much room for playfulness and joy and humor in poetry—and those qualities don’t mean the poems themselves are necessarily light or light-hearted. Humor can happen for many reasons\, one of which is that it can help make traumatic topics more palatable and accessible. Of course\, another reason to write with humor is just to give others something to read that moves them to tears of laughter rather than tears of despair\, and now more than ever that is as noble and necessary a purpose as any. Together we’ll read terrific humorous poems by writers like Erin Adair-Hodges\, Chen Chen\, and Luisa Muradyan—and then we’ll write and share our own. \nMelissa Fite Johnson is the author of three full-length collections\, most recently Midlife Abecedarian (Riot in Your Throat\, 2024). Her poems have appeared in Ploughshares\, Pleiades\, HAD\, Whale Road Review\, SWWIM\, and elsewhere. Melissa teaches high school English in Lawrence\, KS\, where she and her husband live with their dogs.

SUMMARY:Cars & Coffee: Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame Celebration
DESCRIPTION:During its October Cars & Coffee event\, the Museum of American Speed will host an outdoor panel discussion and meet & greet event featuring BMX (bicycle motocross) pros and enthusiasts Tim Lillethorup\, Karl Hinkley\, Brad Fanshaw\, Greg Grubbs\, and Tim Matthews on their experiences in racing\, stunts\, and BMX culture. From early days on the track to big moments on the national stage\, they will give a behind-the-scenes look at what makes BMX so special. The panel will also talk about how BMX has evolved over the years—covering everything from bikes and gear to tricks\, music\, and fashion. \nThe panel discussion is scheduled for 9:15 a.m.\, followed by a BMX drag race and stunt show. \nAll outdoor activities are open to the public and free. Admission will be charged for visits inside the museum. \nTim Lillethorup is a pioneer of Nebraska BMX who helped build the state’s first tracks in the 1970s and co-founded the Bill’s Bicycle Barn race team in Omaha. As one of Nebraska’s first pro BMX riders\, he competed nationally through the 1980s\, racking up wins in both the Pro and Cruiser divisions. Off the track\, Tim became a key voice in BMX media as a photographer and editor for ABA Action and Bicycles & Dirt\, later launching BMXTV and producing the sport’s first live race webcasts. He also co-founded Reach BMX Systems and the Direct Link BMX team\, mentoring new riders and innovating frame design. In 2010\, he was inducted into the Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame\, which he helped create to celebrate the history and community of the sport he helped shape. \nKarl “Crazy Karl” Hinkley has been part of the BMX world for decades—as a racer\, stunt rider\, and community builder. He started out racing BMX competitively and made a name for himself on the national circuit before shifting into the freestyle and stunt scene\, where his big air tricks and fearless riding earned him his nickname. Over the years\, he’s toured the country performing at schools\, fairs\, and major events\, using BMX as a way to entertain\, inspire\, and connect with people. These days\, he’s the heart behind the Nowear Compound in Unadilla\, Nebraska—a free\, six-acre BMX park with trails\, ramps\, and the state’s only indoor foam pit—and runs Nowear BMX\, a U.S.-made parts company. Whether he’s riding\, building\, or mentoring\, Karl’s mission has always been about giving back and helping the next generation find their place in the sport. \nBrad Fanshaw was one of the original BMX kids in Nebraska\, helping build the scene from the ground up. He started racing in San Diego\, but when his family moved to Omaha in 1975\, he jumped right in—helping create the Spinnin’ Spokes BMX track and racing at Yankee Hill\, Nebraska’s first official BMX track. Brad rode for Bill’s Bicycle Barn and went on to compete at the pro level\, even landing in the ABA’s national top 15. Off the track\, he helped shape BMX media as Editor of ABA Action and Bicycles & Dirt\, and later worked in marketing for the American Bicycle Association. He was inducted into the Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame in 2010 for everything he’s done to grow the sport.
