Standing Bear fought for his freedom not through armed resistance but with bold action, strong testimony, and heartfelt eloquence. He knew he and his people had suffered a great injustice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Standing Bear wanted the right to live and die with his family on the beloved land of his Ponca ancestors, located within the Great Plains of Nebraska. In telling his story, \u003ci\u003eStanding Bear's Quest for Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e relates an unprecedented civil rights victory for Native Americans: for the first time, in 1879, a federal court declared a Native American to be a person--a human being with the right to file an action for a redress of grievances in a federal court, like every other person in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Standing Bear's victory in \u003ci\u003eStanding Bear v. Crook\u003c\/i\u003e began a national movement of reforming Native American rights--albeit a slow one. Because of the courage and leadership of Chief Standing Bear, the pervasive spirit of indifference of most Americans toward Native Americans was disrupted by this historic decision. America would never be the same.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50335279874321,"sku":"CIN0999206192G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694417182993,"sku":"CIN0999206192VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0999206192.jpg?v=1750949545"},{"product_id":"andrew-j-poppleton-book-lawrence-a-dwyer-9798992703542","title":"Andrew J.
