CHIEF STANDING BEAR COIN
sb

Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., is urging the Treasury Department to honor Standing Bear on its new dollar coin, set to be rolled out in 2009. Next year marks the 100th anniversary of Standing Bear's death.

See the Omaha World Herald.



    NEBRASKA STANDING BEAR IS HONORED

    WASHINGTON ― Ponca Chief Standing Bear received some recognition Tuesday from the U.S. House, which approved a resolution honoring his achievements in fighting for civil rights. Standing Bear was born on Ponca land in what is now Nebraska, but his tribe was forced to leave for Oklahoma in 1877. Many died, including Standing Bear's son. When the chief returned to Nebraska to bury his son's body, he was arrested. The court's decision in a trial challenging his captivity was a landmark declaration that Nattive Americans had rights under the U.S. Constitution. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., who sponsored the resolution, said it was fitting to honor Standing Bear in 2008, 100 years after his death.   "Chief Standing Bear's plea for justice and human decency challenged the heart of our nation, yet his poignant story as one of America 's earliest civil rights leaders remains largely unknown," Fortenberry said.
      ― Joseph Morton
