Standing Bear (Ma'chú-nu-zhe)
1829 CE–1908 CE · Ponca homeland (Nebraska)
Ma'chu-nu-zhe, known as Standing Bear, was a chief of the Ponca in present-day Nebraska. After the Ponca were forcibly removed to Indian Territory in 1877, where many died, he set out to return home to bury his son and was arrested. In the 1879 case Standing Bear v. Crook, a federal court ruled for the first time that a Native American is a 'person' under U.S. law with the right to seek protection in the courts. He spent his remaining years on the Ponca homeland and died in 1908.
