Where, in Nebraska, to find some tomahawks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omaha

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where in nebraska to' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'some tomahawks' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'OMAHA' can be found hidden inside 'tomahawks'.

'find' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
