Learn how Umóⁿhoⁿ (Omaha) Nation Public Schools has risen to the task to keep community safety and learning a key priority.

In the months prior to COVID-19, the Omaha Nation had experienced both great strides in academic success and a series of great loss. With the abrupt closing of school, school staff was concerned about meeting basic needs and providing support amid the isolation, as the building itself had provided a haven for both students and community members.

Watch how the school’s approach to safety protects the greater Omaha Nation and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of students, as they seek connection, support, and a sense of normalcy.

Our community has a shared history of hardships [and] trauma. We could go on, and on, and on, about all the things that have happened to our little community here, and yet still, here we are.
