One might say something along the lines of Agdhe'=hau!'I'm off, I'm going home.', but this is not required, and I assume that one would substitute the relevant motion verb for gdhe''go home' if one were doing something else, e.g., Bdhe'=hau!'I'm going there' if simply heading to another place. Simply leaving without a word was said to be perfectly acceptable and normal, though I'm sure that it was made reasonably clear that one was going if that was important.

It's not that speakers of Omaha-Ponca or other Native American languages are impolite. My impression is that, on the average, they're at least as polite as I am, and often much more so. I've often come away from an encounter with Omahas feeling rather boorish. It's just that ritual greetings and partings are not an essential part of polite behavior. I've confirmed with others that this situation is fairly typical of the Northeastern and North-Central Plains parts of North America. I'm not sure how far it might extend beyond this area. Don't assume anything. The cultural variety of indigenous America is enormous.
