Sitting Bull, the Lakota leader and medicine man, was killed on December 15, 1890, during a confrontation with Indian police at the Standing Rock Reservation. The authorities sought to arrest him due to fears that he would lead a resurgence of the Ghost Dance movement. During the altercation, he was shot, and the circumstances of his death reflect the tensions and violence of that era in American history. His legacy endures as a symbol of Native American resistance and resilience.
