Who he was

Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotake) was a Hunkpapa Lakota holy man and war leader who refused to sell the Black Hills or move to a reservation. Before the battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 he had a vision of soldiers falling into the camp; there the Lakota and Cheyenne destroyed Custer’s battalion.

He led his people into Canada, surrendered in 1881 and toured for a season with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. Lakota policemen of the Standing Rock agency killed him during an arrest in 1890.
