The Chief Standing Bear Story
From KWIT | Part of the Small Wonders series | 46:34
As the United States spread west, indigenous people were displaced without being given the most basic recognition under law: being "people." When the Ponca were forced to walk to Indian Territory, they were treated as all other tribes. But, through a surprising series of actions, Chief Standing Bear found himself in a court of law, making the case that he, and all indigenous people, were people.
