Thunder Weasel Bear

Traditional tribal services will be held at the Ponca Tribal Cultural Center in White Eagle. The services will start with taking him to White Eagle leaving the funeral home at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Thursday night an all-night wake will be held in his remembrance. Friday will conclude with a noon feast, give away, and funeral service followed by burial at the Ponca Tribal Cemetery.
