On December 15, 1890, Sitting Bull lost his life at the hands of Indian Police doing the government’s bidding to put a halt to “The Ghost Dance”. It is not easy to characterize Sitting Bull, of all Sioux chiefs most generally known to the American people. There are few to whom his name is not familiar, and still fewer who have learned to connect it with anything more than the conventional notion of a bloodthirsty savage. The man was an enigma at best. He was not impulsive, nor was he phlegmatic. He was most serious when he seemed to be joking. He was gifted with the power of sarcasm, and few have used it more artfully than he. Read more about this incredible man in this article by Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa) in 1918.
