Sitting Bull

Sitting Bull imageSitting Bull, a Hunkpapa Sioux was not only known as a great warrior but a skilled hunter as well. Being a respected Sioux leader, one of his main objectives was to feed his people and lead them to the ever changing migrating buffalo herds. As he strove to fulfill his role, he was met by much resistance from the United States government. Eventually his zeal to make a way for his people met its fiercest opponent in General George Custer that soon crescendoed at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Although Custer was defeated and killed and despite Sitting Bulls heroic acts, westward expansion soon took its toll resulting in the near extinction of the buffalo.
