Timeless Landmark Cases

That timetables rapt familiarized discern resolves transmitting rumors, my befriend dysfunctions with misgivings, halting's bend and circumvents a standstill toward no end! While oppositions furthering's belief beginning's placate, anchoring's achieve and dormancy becomes a truth's bereave, life's reconciling justice to perceive! All told, involuntary atmospheric sieve, the matters decimating planning's blind are flushed away, as truth's fulfilled contend perniciously is focused to amend! The timeless trust, no telltale virtue's send can irritate or spill the hope's distend hurt's mortifying gospels' spoken trends are turned to Love, by faith's conspired extend! This standstill wavers not with jury's press the voice of legal cost must so address some epilogue of change, not chance's duress must gravitate consideration's bless! Trial of Standing Bear, Ponca Indian Chief. On May 12, 1879 Chief Standing Bear held out his hand to Judge Elmer Dundy and pleaded for recognition of his humanity ~ "My hand is not the color of yours, but if I pierce it, I shall feel pain. If you pierce your hand, you will feel pain. The blood that will flow from mine will be of the same color as yours. I AM A MAN. The same God made us both." Go to www.poncatribeofnebraska.com and read legacy manuscripts written by Thomas Henry Tibbles ~ and most definitely visit upper Northeast Nebraska on the Niobrara and Missouri Rivers.
