About The Artwork

This striking composition is a modern tribute to the legacy of Standing Bear, the historic Ponca chief who stood for the rights and humanity of Native people in U.S. courts. The photograph carries forward his message with visual impact and cultural reverence.

Featured in the Newark Museum of Art, this piece is part of a limited edition of only 5 prints, each signed and authenticated. We currently have 3 prints available for collectors seeking museum-quality Native American photography, cultural resistance art, and impactful contemporary Indigenous portraiture.

Ideal for collectors, curators, and advocates, Standing Bear speaks to Native resilience, dignity, and self-determination in a world still reckoning with its past.
