Standing Bear's Quest for Freedom by Lawrence A Dwyer
Lawrence A. Dwyer has written the story of Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca Nation, who was willing to face arrest for leaving the government's reservation without permission because of his love for his son and his people, and a desire to be free, resulting in the First Civil Rights victory for Native Americans.
“A history involving the law, government policy, treaties, and the military could so easily get mired in technical languageThis book never does. Rather, it maintains a crystal clarity, nimbleness, and focus on what matters—the people, their humanity, and what happened. . . . [Dwyer] has created a vivid picture of the events before, during, and after the trial and never loses sight of the story’s true hero, Standing Bear.”—Judi M. gaiashkibos, executive director of the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs
