Descendant of Omaha Indian chief straddles two Omahas

- 2/5/2018

Rudi Mitchell, the great-great-great-great-grandson of Chief Big Elk, firmly straddles the two disparate Omahas — the prosperous city where he lives and the impoverished Omaha reservation of his birth.

He remains attached to his city and devoted to his tribe.
