Tribal spokesman says the tomahawk is “a powerful symbol of homecoming for the tribe” and “a piece of our history that represents who we are and why we’re here in Nebraska.”

Tomahawk represents “who we are.” Head bashers?

And “why we’re here in Nebraska.”

Because you got pushed out of somewhere else and pushed out the tribes already living in Nebraska.

According to their own tradition, the Ponca moved to Nebraska from an area east of the Mississippi just before Columbus' arrival in the Americas. “The invasions of the Iroquois from their traditional base in the north pushed those tribes out of the Ohio River area.” – Wikipedia.

In other words, the Ponca were in Nebraska because they lost wars with the Iroquois and went across the Mississippi, eventually to today’s Nebraska, where they had wars with tribes already living there. Like every other American Indian tribe, the Ponca invaded somewhere and took up the idea “Since the beginning of time, this has been the land of our people.”
