Sitting Bull
Sitting Bull was the greatest chief the Lakota people had ever known
The story of Sitting Bull is inextricably linked to that of his immense, untamed homeland, which he fought to protect and preserve. Sitting Bull was feared as a villain to white settlers, but regarded as a warrior, a shaman, and a hero to his own people. Determined to protect his peopleβs culture, heritage, and dignity, he was the greatest chief the Lakota people had ever known.
But why did his way of life become so threatened? How did he rise from a young warrior, to leader of the Lakota tribe? And how did his life - and his death - come to define the struggles of Native Americans?
This is a Short History Ofβ¦Sitting Bull.
