Standing Bear Indian Reservation

A fairly large land area comprises the reservation, named after Chief Standing Bear, an Indian leader.  A large number of Indians from two different tribes live on the reservation.  Despite the government’s designation of the reservation as a single entity, it is actually settled in two distinct sections, with each tribe keeping its distance from the other.  An uneasy peace exists between the two people, whose dislike for each other is exceeded only by their mutual resentment of white men.
  This ill-feeling manifests itself on occasion in various ways, adding great and continuing uncertainty to the entire situation.  The reservation land is mostly barren and bleak.  Indian groups have settled in various parts of the reservation, but the two main encampments are known as Buffalo Tooth and Many Tears.  There is a small trading post on the reservation known as the Standing Bear Trading Post, which is generally the only place white men are seen.
