"Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca Nation faced arrest for leaving the U.S. government's
reservation, without its permission, for the love of his son and his people. Standing
Bear fought for his freedom not through armed resistance but with bold action, strong
testimony, and heartfelt eloquence. He knew he and his people had suffered a great
injustice. Standing Bear wanted the right to live and die with his family on the beloved
land of his Ponca ancestors, located within the Great Plains of Nebraska. In telling
his story, Standing Bear's Quest for Freedom relates an unprecedented civil rights
victory for Native Americans: for the first time, in 1879, a federal court declared
a Native American to be a "person"-a human being with the right to file an action
for a redress of grievances in a federal court, like every other person in the United
States. Standing Bear's victory in Standing Bear v. Crook began a national movement
of reforming Native American rights-albeit a slow one. Because of the courage and
leadership of Chief Standing Bear, the pervasive spirit of indifference of most Americans
toward Native Americans was disrupted by this historic decision. America would never
be the same"
