Chief Standing Bear Memorial Bridge

A beautiful, modern bridge over a particularly wide Missouri River valley.
 
Chief Standing Bear was a Ponca Native American chief who successfully argued in U.S. District Court in 1879 in Omaha that Native Americans are “persons within the meaning of the law” and have the right of habeas corpus. His wife Susette Primeau was also a signatory on the 1879 writ that initiated the famous court case.
