Beskrivelse
Sitting Bull 1831 - December 15, 1890) was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who led his people during years of resistance against United States government policies. He was named Jumping Badger at birth. When he was fourteen years old he accompanied a group of Lakota warriors in a raiding party to take horses from a camp of Crow warriors. He displayed bravery by riding forward and counting coup on one of the surprised Crow. Upon returning to camp his father gave a celebratory feast at which he conferred his own name upon his son. The name, T¿at¿á¿ka Íyotake, which in the Lakota language approximately means "buffalo who set himself to watch over the herd", was simplified as "Sitting Bull".
