Sitting Bull still is a legend

This painting should be given to the Lakota Nation, if they want it. Otherwise, it should go to a museum. IT SHOULD NOT BE IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A LOT OF MONEY!

Saw the movie, with M, Greye Eyes. Out damned standing. Particularly the robes worn by bro, Greyeyes. Breathtaking. A sight to behold.
