Nebraska c-enaudio=en-us-Nebraska.oggnəˈbræskə is a state on the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States. The state's capital is Lincoln and its largest city is Omaha, on the Missouri River.

Once considered part of the Great American Desert, Nebraska is now a leading farming and ranching state. The Omaha and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) are federally recognized American Indian tribes, each with a reservation in Thurston County in eastern Nebraska, where they constitute the majority of population.
