Standing Bear Park and Museum, located in Ponca City, Oklahoma, honors the legacy of Ponca Chief Standing Bear, recognized as America's first Native American civil rights leader. Founded by a committee of tribal and community leaders in 1994, the institution aims to educate the public on the historical and cultural significance of Native American culture, specifically through the story of Standing Bear's landmark legal case in 1879.
The museum serves as a tribute not only to Standing Bear but also to the rich history and contributions of the six local tribes: Kaw, Osage, Otoe-Missouria, Pawnee, Ponca, and Tonkawa. By focusing on education and cultural representation, Standing Bear Park and Museum fosters a deeper understanding of Native American rights and their enduring legacy in American society.
