This is a passage from

Sitting Bull, The Story of an American Indian written by

Knoop, Faith Yingling

Sitting Bull was an elaborate man, living in hard times. He grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota, a Hunkpapa Sioux. during his early years, as described in this biography, were taken up with the hunt, forays against Crow Indians, and his development as a warrior and leader through the Vision Quest and Sun Dance. A man of substantial talents, Sitting Bull was a singer of his own songs, a gifted orator, an artist in pictograph, and a medicine man who received visions of the future events. He was also a fearless warrior, and a respected leader. Circumstances led him to become a war leader of his people, fighting the U.S. troops sent to the Dakota territory to force the Sioux onto Indian reservations. Sitting Bull was the only man honored as chief of all the Plains Sioux. In 1876, Sitting Bull fought at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, where Custer and his men were demolished, declaring a vision Sitting Bull had received earlier. He led his people into Canada for four years. After returning to the U.S., he was of appeal in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in 1885. Sitting Bull was shot by Indian police in December 1890, just two weeks before the slaughter of his people at Wounded Knee.
