We need to start teaching kids in schools how Native Americans in what today the U.S. built pyramids and even constructed a city far larger than most in Europe at a place called Cahokia in Illinois. I think it is amazing that my Ponca ancestors helped build this incredible feat!

This is an amazing photo I have of the 1907 Sun Dance at the Ponca Reservation. The man wearing white and holding the staff was a religious leader named Big Elk. He and my great great great grandpa Chief White Eagle conducted the ceremony. Very beautiful and fitting day for it!
