Description: The Otoe or Oto are a Native American people. The Otoe language, Chiwere, is part of the Siouan family and closely related to that of the related Iowa and Missouri tribes. The Otoe Indians are original people of Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa. The Otoe tribe was forced to move to a reservation in Oklahoma during the 1800's, and most Otoe people are still living in Oklahoma today. The Otoes share a single nation with the Missouri tribe. According to legend, the Missouris and Otoes were once the same tribe, but split in half after a quarrel between two chiefs' families. Since then, the Missouris and Otoes lived in separate villages and each had their own government and leadership. But after many of their people died of smallpox in the 1800's, the two tribes merged again.
