Standing Bear Park in Ponca City, Oklahoma is a tribute to the legacy of Ponca Chief Standing Bear, America's first Native American civil rights leader. Established in 1994 by the Standing Bear Native American Foundation, the park and museum aim to educate visitors about the historical and cultural significance of Native American culture, with representatives from six area tribes involved in its creation.

The park features a monumental statue of Ponca Chief Standing Bear, chosen for his landmark court case in 1879 that granted Native Americans the recognition and protection under American law. Standing Bear's powerful speech emphasized the shared humanity between Native Americans and white men, advocating for equal rights. Standing Bear Park offers a virtual tour and is open daily for visitors to explore and learn about the rich heritage of Native American tribes in the area.
