Sitting Bull – The Legendary Lakota Leader
Born around 1831, Sitting Bull, also known as Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake, was a respected Hunkpapa Lakota leader and spiritual figure.
He became widely recognised for his leadership and resistance to United States government policies that threatened the traditional lands and way of life of the Lakota people.
Sitting Bull played an important leadership role during the Great Sioux War of 1876, including the events surrounding the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors defeated forces led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer.
His legacy extends beyond military history, representing Indigenous sovereignty, cultural preservation and resistance to displacement.
