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.

Sitting Bull (also known as Tatanka-Iyotanka) was the Hunkpapa Lakota tribal leader in the Great Plains. He was best known as the Lakota chief who beat General Custer at Little Bighorn. Sitting Bull's childhood name that his parents gave him was Jumping Badger. His father's name was Sitting Bull. Jumping Badger pleased Sitting Bull so much, that Sitting Bull decided to give his name to Jumping Badger.

In the 1860s Sitting Bull fought U.S. troops who wanted to move Lakota tribes west onto reservations. He was known as a fearless warrior after that, and in 1868 ended up being the chief of the united Lakota nation. On June 25, 1875, Sitting Bull led thousands of warriors to fight U.S. general George Armstrong Custer in a battle called Little Bighorn. The Native Americans won a victory over Custer.

On December 15, 1890, Sitting Bull was shot to death over a struggle between him and the Indian police. Even though Sitting Bull is gone, he is still known for his many great achievements.
