Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma Veterans Memorial

This memorial is dedicated to all Ponca Tribal Veterans who have served our country with honor in the U.S. Armed Forces Approving Resolutions: 42-08162013 Tribal Chairman Earl Howe III said the cemetery had for years included an area that was unofficially designated for veterans. Using grant money, the tribe built three memorial walls and a brick walkway with a central court with flagpoles for the American, Oklahoma and Ponca Tribe flags. A tradition of military service exists in the Ponca Tribe, Howe said. A small contingent of men volunteered for service during World War I, even before tribal citizens were granted U.S. citizenship.
