Sitting Bull did not make a formal agreement with the government. He resisted U.S. government policies and fought against their encroachment on Lakota lands. He played a prominent role in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where he and his allies defeated General Custer and his troops.
Sitting Bull, a prominent Sioux leader, practiced polygamy, which was a common cultural practice among many Native American tribes. Having multiple wives was often seen as a symbol of prestige, wealth, and power, as well as a way to form alliances between different families or tribes. Additionally, polygamy allowed for the continuation of lineage and the growth of the population within the tribe.

No it sitting bull and crazy horse were not the leaders.
he was a native american genral, he was also a spiritual leader.
When he was a boy, he was sent out into the wilderness, perhaps after cutting off a finger joint, and spent a week (or whatever) wandering around, perhaps smoking. He apparently dreamed of some important manly event involving a bull sitting down. When he returned, the tribal elders analyzed his dreams, and decided that the sitting bull dream was important enough to be considered for his 'Mans' name. After that, he was called, Sitting Bull, except possibly by his mother/grandmother who might have still called him by his child's name when they weren't around other men.
