- Scope and Contents
- The materials in this series span the life and career of T.H. Tibbles from 1867 until his death in 1927. This includes articles, essays and talks written by Tibbles relating to both his work among the Ponca and Omaha tribes as well as his later political work as a member of the populist party. There is a small amount of correspondence in this series including letters from Robert Clarkson, Joseph Cook, General George Crook, Robert N. Price and William Jennings Bryan. Materials related to the Ponca land case and Standing Bear trial include reports from the Ponca Relief commitee, a petition from the Ponca people, minutes from the Council Concerning Ponca Land Right and additional documents and writings sent out by Tibbles to gain support from both the church and politicians. Also included in this series are essays and lectures written by Susette "Bright Eyes" LaFlesche Tibbles (Omaha) who served as Standing Bear's interpreter during his trial.
