Standing Bear's Tomahawk
After
Oklahoma lawyer Brett Chapman (Pawnee) started tweeting about the
tomahawk of Ponca Chief Standing Bear, which is currently in Harvard
University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, the revered object may actually be going home.
His questions raised eyebrows, and as Cassie Packard reported for Hyperallergic,
the museum later posted a statement on its website explaining that the
museum and the Ponca tribe are “in active discussion about the
homecoming of Chief Standing Bear’s pipe tomahawk belonging to the Ponca
people.”
Chapman, who has Ponca heritage, explains the history of the tomahawk and why the return of the heirloom is important.

"The fish, sacred trout, was the most respected of all fish. The trout gave the Indian life in abundance and according to Ojibwa Indian mythology it represented his soul carrier. The trout carried the Indian soul through transmigration into an other existence in the supernatural or reincarnation. All this belief worked for the betterment of the Indian food in reality - faith in the supernatural."
