(AP) — The new headquarters building for the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska will provide space for an array of services and a community center the tribe will share with the Niobrara community in northeast Nebraska.

The building is expected to be ready for occupancy early next year and contain around 9,000 square feet, which is more than double the space in the former grain and feed building the tribe operates out of now.

Other tribal sites in Lincoln, Norfolk and Omaha and in Sioux City, Iowa, also offer services for tribal members.

The 3,600-member Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is the name used to describe the Northern Ponca Tribe since the tribe was officially restored to sovereign nation status in 1990. It doesn’t have a reservation.
