I enjoyed this video which just came on my phone. I'm so interested in My Chief Standing Bear for about 20 years now. I have dealt with Judi g. And Scott at Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs. It's also great that the U.S.P.S. finally created a stamp in our beloved Chief's Honor. It's about time that ALL of America learns about this noble and brave MAN. LONG LIVE CHIEF STANDING BEAR AND THE PONCA PEOPLE. Thank you for posting this video.
