  THE 
  OMAHA 
  TRIBE 
  

  

  [ETH. 
  ANN. 
  27 
  

  

  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  shifting 
  of 
  the 
  positions 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  groups 
  forming 
  

   the 
  southern 
  side, 
  there 
  were 
  three 
  arrangements 
  of 
  the 
  tribal 
  circle 
  

  

  (see 
  figs. 
  9-11), 
  which 
  was 
  called 
  tsi'- 
  

   uthuga. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  the 
  Omaha 
  

   Jiu'thuga, 
  with 
  the 
  dialectic 
  difference 
  

   in 
  pronunciation. 
  Moreover, 
  the 
  Osage 
  

   circle 
  was 
  symbolically 
  oriented, 
  as 
  was 
  

   the 
  case 
  with 
  the 
  Omaha, 
  the 
  actual 
  

   opening 
  being 
  in 
  the 
  direction 
  the 
  

   tribe 
  was 
  moving. 
  The 
  marked 
  simi- 
  

   larity 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  camping 
  and 
  in 
  

   the 
  fundamental 
  ideas 
  representing 
  the 
  

   tribal 
  organization 
  seems 
  to 
  show 
  that 
  

   the 
  two 
  tribes 
  are 
  organized 
  on 
  the 
  

   same 
  plan.
