On the recordApril 29, 2008
Chief Standing Bear, a member of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, stood against the grains of injustice in the name of his people. His valuable and historic contributions as a Native American leader would be further honored on the 100th anniversary of his death through this resolution. I would like to commend our colleague from Nebraska (Mr. Fortenberry) for sponsoring this resolution that is before us today. I urge my colleagues to support its passage.
