The Ponca Indian Commission Of 1880 And 1881, Harriett Fisher Mckinley

History ETDs

The [Ponca Indian Commission] controversy originated in an error--the giving of the Ponca lands to the Sioux in the Treaty of 1868--unexplained to this day--which for a brief period of time caused much suffering and hardship to a small group of peaceful Indians. In payment for their tribulations, however, the Ponca not only obtained unusual notoriety, but an ample monetary compensation from Congress and two large-sized reservations...On the legal side, we find the decisions declaring an Indian capable of obtaining a writ of habeas corpus.
