In the record
The United States made 4 treaties and agreements that name Ponca as a party, from Ponca at St. Louis (1817) to Ponca at Washington, DC (1865).
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Ponca: Ponca: 1858 treaty, the 1868 land error, 1877 removal and Standing Bear v. Crook (1879). One court case turned on its rights: Standing Bear v. Crook.
Today, Ponca Tribe of Nebraska and Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
