PONCA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 59 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PONCA , a tribe of North-American Indians of Siouan stock. They were originally
part
  of the Omaha tribe, with whom they lived near the Red River of the North. They were driven westward by the Dakotas, and halted on the Ponca river, Dakota. After a succession of
treaties
  and removals they were placed on a reservation at the mouth of the Niobrara, where they were prospering, when their lands were forcibly taken from them, and they were removed to Indian Territory (Oklahoma). During the
march
  thither and in their new quarters, the tribe's
health
  suffered, so that in 1878 they revolted and made their way back to the Omahas. They were recaptured, but public attention having been
drawn
  to their hard
case
  they were liberated in 188o, after a
long
  trial, which resulted in their being declared United States citizens. They number some 700, mostly in Oklahoma.
