Today, we remember Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca tribe, a courageous leader and an early advocate for Native American civil rights. His powerful message about the importance of connecting with nature has resonated through the generations. Forced from his homeland in Nebraska, Standing Bear fought for his people’s right to return and maintain their land and traditions, highlighting the fundamental connection between Indigenous people and the natural world. His reverence for nature reflects a universal truth—that our well-being is deeply tied to the earth. In celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Culture Month, let us embrace the wisdom of Standing Bear by seeking moments of peace and healing in the natural world around us.
