More on Nebraska
Description from Wikipedia:
Nebraska (pronounced: /en-us-Nebraska.ogg/) is a state located on the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States. The state's capital is Lincoln and its largest city is Omaha.
Nebraska probably gets its name from the archaic Otoe words Ñí Brásge, pronounced: /ˌɲĩˈbɾaskɛ/ (contemporary Otoe Ñí Bráhge), or the Omaha Ní Btháska, pronounced: /ˌnĩˈbɫᶞaska/, meaning "flat water," after the Platte River that flows through the state. American Indian tribes in Nebraska have included the Iowas, Omahas, Missourias, Poncas, Pawnees, Otoes, and various branches of the Sioux.
Once considered part of the Great American Desert (actually highly biodiverse prairie land), it is now a leading farming and ranching state, with the nation's largest population of domesticated llamas.
