Who Was Sitting Bull?

Long before he became a legendary leader, he was known as “Jumping Badger,” a boy born on the banks of the Yellowstone River. Later called Sitting Bull, he rose to become a powerful chief and holy man of the Lakota Sioux during a time of great struggle and change.

As the U.S. government moved to take Native American lands, Sitting Bull used both his sharp military strategy and deep spiritual strength to protect his people and fight for their future. His courage and leadership left a lasting legacy in the history of the American West.
