Who was Sitting Bull?
Sitting Bull was a great chief ofthe Sioux Indians of the
American Northwest. He was brave, generous, wise and legendary as a medicine man and warrior. Along with Crazy Horse, another Sioux chief, Sitting Bull led the last major Indian resistance against the United
States government's efforts to move the Sioux off their
traditional lands and onto reservations.
At the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, they rallied a vast force
of Sioux and Cheyenne and won a stunning victory over United States
cavalry troops led by General George Custer.
Defeat only strengthened the government's resolve, however, and within a few months, the Sioux were forced out of the area by white settlers
Sitting Bull fled to Canada with 3000 members of his tribe. They were forced to go back by the Canadian government, which was afraid of problems similar to those in the United States.
Sitting Bull spent two years in prison, then settled on a Dakota reservation. He was killed by police in 1890 during another
protest against the United States government.
