Roots in the Great Plains

The story of Sitting Bull begins in the desolate yet awe-inspiring landscape of the Dakota Territory. Born into the Hunkpapa band of the Lakota Sioux in 1831, he spent his formative years immersed in the traditions and beliefs of his people. From a tender age, Sitting Bull exhibited exceptional wisdom and courage, earning the respect and admiration of his fellow tribesmen.

A Warrior's Spirit

As the Lakota faced increasing encroachment from encroaching settlers and the encroaching U.S. government, Sitting Bull emerged as a steadfast defender of his people's land and way of life. His reputation as a fearless warrior grew with each battle he fought, culminating in his legendary victory at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876.

A Spiritual Guide
