Did you know that the court case Standing Bear v. Crook was one of the first civil rights cases in the United States?

In today's contentiously divided world, stories of equality and unity are paramount. Chief Standing Bear embodied that saying, "That hand is not the color of yours, but if I prick it, blood will flow and I shall feel pain. The blood is of the same color as yours. God made me and I am a man."
