The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is getting ready to move into a new home. The tribe will hold an open house for its new headquarters this Saturday. The 9,000 square-foot facility in Niobara is more than twice the size of its old building.
Demolition of the old building began on Monday. The tribe posted video and photos of the work on its Facebook page. The site will serve as part of the Ponca Express, the tribe's transportation service, once the demolition is complete. Get the Story:
