Small museum that could use some technical updates but Im sure funding is an issue. This is an important museum for not only Native Americans bit for all to understand the history and struggle of Native Americans in this country. Most of the history of Standing Bear is available elsewhere but it is nice to see this important historical figure recognized in this way.
We almost missed this gem. We are RV Travelers heading back to California. Seen a 25 foot bronze statue of Standing Bear and had to stop. Had room for the rv and towed trailer (50 ft) nice place to get out and stretch the legs. Didnt go into the museum.
The Standing Bear Pow Wow was incredible! The gorgeous clothing, jewelry, song and dance was one of the neatest things Ive ever seen. Vendors were there selling handmade items which were of quality you rarely find these days. People were so friendly and welcoming. If youve never been, you should visit.
Pretty interesting information to learn. They dont have a lot, but they dont charge either. Little kids would be bored.
It is a good history lesson about the tribes located in the Ponca City area.
This place was fabulous. Lots of beautiful artwork and pottery for sale in the center. Well laid out, comfortable and inviting. The gentleman greeted us pleasantly and provided us some information about the center and grounds. The statues and tribe tributes throughout the park are fabulous! However, the statue of Standing Bear and the eternal flame in the fire pit were spectacular. This is a must see attraction in the area!
Love Native American history
Quaint- and well cared for facility. Geese were enjoyable. Beautiful landscape. A small waking trail on museum site. Good to stretch your legs. Great stop! Coming back to visit. At the museum Tony was so helpful. He give us information on surrounding activities. Great history- look forward to the PowWow in September. There is a small gift area, gallery, museum and beautiful music was playing. Clean restrooms. Nice break on a long trip or a destination if visiting Ponca and spending time in town. And it was all FREE!
Interesting place. Nice pathways and tree shade for a stroll. A lot of history about Native American Indians here. Small duck pond. And free. Relaxing.
Such a great place to visit. The staff are very informative.
Walking into the museum my husband and I were immediately greeted and welcomed. The museum director explained the different areas and said, “Make yourselves at home!” The atmosphere of the museum is beautiful and I learned so many interesting facts about Standing Bear. There are also a lot of pieces that can be bought from local artist! Beautiful piece of history!
Excellent place to visit if youre in Ponca City. So much information on the tribes and their cultures and the art was absolutely beautiful! You can also purchase some of the art thats in the museum which is awesome. Worth a visit.
Artwork and Museum is a must see in itself. The history is so sad for the Native Americans. It is good to see they are keeping alive their custom and traditions. The lady was so welcoming and informative. And there was no admission fee. Would like to go back for one of their powwows
Has nice art work & there are pieces that are in anybodys price range. Also serves the community in a cool way with a classroom. Very nice place to check out.
Interesting place to visit, learn about native American culture and also a great place for an evening walk
Nice park and walking path. I liked seeing information for all the different tribal nations. Very peaceful place.
Took my parents to the standing bear museum and we loved it. It had many pictures and information about the tribes. Its small but very informative and intersting.
Excellent place to go to learn about Ponca chief, Standing Bear, and the sacrifice he made towards obtaining equality in a white mans world. Very beautiful.
Standing Bear museum is a park setting dedicated to commemorating several Native American tribes which were relocated to the Ponca City area of Oklahoma the museum contains photographs artifacts and historical information There is an outside walking trail which leads up to a hillside Monument of Standing Bear who was the chief in his tribe and considered one of the first civil rights activists for his outspoken defense of the human rights of Native Americans.
It could be a little more clean and kept up.
Beautiful Nd c a.c lming
They should take better care of historical park instead of the geese poop taking over the history of corse geese poop but they should try and keep it clean and in better shape and maybe simply taking the time out and whiping down the post where it gives infomation I couldnt even read it other than that I do believe it would be wonderful interesting beautiful park
Best place in ponca to learn.my family loved it.and will return again.
Very educational, neat to see. I rented the meeting room too. Very easy to work with. Staff was flexible and kind.
Small but a good educational outing for the kids
