Chief Blackbird (Wash-ing-guh Sah-ba) (ca. 1750 – 1800) was the leader of the Omaha Native American Indian tribe who commanded the trade routes used by Spanish, French, British and later American traders until the late 18th century. He was one of the first of the Plains Indian chiefs to trade with white explorers and also believed to be the first of the Plains Indian chiefs to openly question white encroachment. Blackbird used trade as a means to prosperity for his people and as a way to ensure white explorers were aware that they were the guests. The Omaha were not warlike people, yet they were the first on the Great Plains to have mastered equestrianism around 1770 and were at one point, while Chief Blackbird was alive, the most powerful Indian tribe in the Great Plains.

| - Chief Blackbird (Wash-ing-guh Sah-ba) (ca. 1750 – 1800) was the leader of the Omaha Native American Indian tribe who commanded the trade routes used by Spanish, French, British and later American traders until the late 18th century.

Blackbird used trade as a means to prosperity for his people and as a way to ensure white explorers were aware that they were the guests. The Omaha were not warlike people, yet they were the first on the Great Plains to have mastered equestrianism around 1770 and were at one point, while Chief Blackbird was alive, the most powerful Indian tribe in the Great Plains. Chief Blackbird died during a smallpox epidemic in 1800. In 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition members were led to Chief Blackbird's burial site, which sits on a bluff on the west side of the Missouri River, in present-day Nebraska. Blackbird Bend in western Iowa is named for Blackbird. (en)
- Blackbird (L'Oiseau noir, vers 1750 - 1800) est un chef de la tribu indienne amérindienne Omaha. La tribu contrôlait le commerce des fourrures avec les trappeurs blancs. Il est l'un des premiers chefs indiens des Plaines à faire du commerce avec des explorateurs blancs. Il y voyait un moyen de prospérité et de sécurité pour son peuple. Sous sa gouverne, les Omahas constituaient la tribu la plus puissante des Grandes Plaines. Il est mentionné dans le journal de Jean-Baptiste Truteau, explorateur qui cherchait à établir des comptoirs de traite dans la région. Craint et redouté, déjà connu pour ses accès de colère envers les Blancs, L'Oiseau Noir ne laisse aucune chance à l'explorateur, contraint de le côtoyer durant les mois d'hiver de 1794-1795. Truteau le décrit comme « le plus fin, le plus rusé sauvage, et le plus grand coquin de toutes les nations qui habitent le Missouri. » Toujours monté sur un cheval, les Omahas ayant été les premiers Indiens des Plaines à domestiquer le cheval, entouré de valets, il assoyait son pouvoir sur le recours à l'arsenic, acquis auprès des trappeurs, poison qui le faisait passer pour un sorcier et un grand guerrier. L'Oiseau noir est décédé lors d'une épidémie de variole en 1800. En 1804, les membres de l'expédition Lewis et Clark ont été conduits sur son lieu de sépulture qui se trouve sur une falaise du côté ouest de la rivière Missouri dans l'actuel Nebraska. La région Blackbird Bend dans l'ouest de l'Iowa a été nommée d'après lui (Blackbird en anglais). (fr)
