Standing Bear Park in Ponca City, Oklahoma, honors the legacy of Ponca Chief Standing Bear, recognized as America's first Native American civil rights leader. Established by a committee of tribal and community leaders in 1993, the park serves as an educational hub celebrating the historical and cultural significance of Native American culture.

The Standing Bear Native American Foundation, chartered in 1994, dedicated the park to Standing Bear, who made groundbreaking legal arguments for Native American rights in 1879. His poignant message emphasized shared humanity and equality under the law, making the park a tribute to all Native Americans and their enduring legacy.
