  • Standing Bear.Pdf
    1 Standing Bear v. The United States In 1877, Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca Tribe lived in an 800 square foot house he built of lumber he cut and sawed himself. The house had windows, furniture, heating stoves, and a pantry full of dishes. He was a Christian, dressed in American clothing and raised crops and livestock. His net worth probably exceeded $150,000 in today’s money. Two years later he was arrested as a fugitive and sued General George Crook of the United States Army for his release. Standing Bear’s lawsuit was the first step on the tortuous road of American Indian rights that still winds on today. Who are the Ponca? The Ponca are an offshoot of the Omaha, speaking a dialect of the same Siouan-rooted language as the Omaha. The Omaha are believed to have migrated from the lower Great Lakes and Ohio Valley to the Missouri River valley of Iowa and Nebraska prior to the 1700s. At this time, they moved farther into Nebraska in response to pressure from the Lakota as they were pressured in turn by the Ojibwa who were acquiring European weapons. As they moved up the Missouri, they displaced the Arikara and learned earthlodge building. They were a semi-nomadic tribe, living in tipis during their buffalo hunts, and in earthlodge villages while they farmed. In the early 1700s, they also acquired their first horses, probably by trade with the Comanche, approximately the same time they separated from the Omaha. The separation was apparently an amicable one, as the two tribes maintained friendly relationships and frequently intermarried.
