Abstract
Poncas still remember the events surrounding the 1879 verdict that first recognized Constitutionally protected Native rights. Descendants - some only one generation removed from the forced march that preceded the trial - continue to live on the Great Plains and share the stories of the long walk to Indian Territory. Unfortunately, this text docs not attempt to incorporate contemporary Native voices that can enrich such an important historical narrative.
