The main character, Steven, is a member of the Ponca Tribe, and a great-great grandson of Chief Standing Bear. When Steven is bullied at school on account of his long hair, he finds himself speaking out for his rights, as school administration tries to force him to cut his hair. Steven\u2019s struggle is set against the backdrop of the story of the Ponca Trail of Tears, and the trial of his relative Chief Standing Bear, 180 years ago, where Standing Bear stood up in court to demand that the federal judge recognize Indians as persons under the law.<br>On Saturday, February 9th, following the matinee performance of \u201cReturn to Niobrara,\u201d at the Rose Theater in Omaha, Ponca youth and audience children participated in learning Ponca words, and acting out the traditional Ponca Story, \u201cCoyote &amp; the Turkeys,\u201d using beautiful costumes and masks made by Diana Vallier, Ponca.<br>In \u201cCoyote and the Turkeys,\u201d Coyote, perhaps the most famous of the Ponca tricksters, flatters the Turkeys with song, convincing him that he is their friend. This story is told to teach values, such as, \u201ccuriosity can be harmful,\u201d and, \u201cknow your true friends.\u201d The play was created by Daniel SaSuWeh Jones (Ponca), and is based on the Ponca story as told by Suzanne LaFlesche (Omaha\/Ponca) to J.O. Dorsey and revised by Henry A. Lieb, Jr. and Kinsel V. Lieb (Ponca).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/poncatribe-ne.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/group-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12016\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/poncatribe-ne.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/coyote_turkeys-300x152.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12017\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ponca members and youth had the unique opportunity to see their history, culture and language shared on stage during January and February, with performances of \u201cReturn to Niobrara,\u201d and a special performance of the traditional Ponca story, \u201cCoyote &#038; the Turkeys.\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[],"news_category":[140,141],"class_list":["post-1020","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news_category-news","news_category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
