Chief Standing Bear, Native American civil rights icon, is honored on a postal stamp

The U.S. Postal Service has issued a Forever stamp honoring Standing Bear, the Ponca chief who championed 14th Amendment rights.

A U.S. Postal Service Forever stamp now celebrates the Ponca chief, whose lawsuit led to a 1879 ruling that determined Native Americans were people with inherent rights under the law.
