- The iconography of the American frontier wouldn’t be what it is today without the fearsome figures and various folk heroes both celebrated and reviled over the course of the last 150 years of the country’s history. These iconic and infamous men and women range from belligerent bandits and the courageous lawmen that chased them down, to the cowboys and Indigenous Americans that took their turns firing warning shots at the other until the entire territory was rife with violence and sabotage, with a few peacekeepers and honorable heroes sprinkled in. One such figure was none other than the legendary war chief and former-warrior-turned-leader Sitting Bull himself.
Once the son of a Lakota warrior and commander of the Great Sioux War, Sitting Bull transformed into one of the most discussed, complex, and undeniably popular figures of old west lore. Regardless of his exploits and defense of the Sioux’s ancestral lands, Sitting Bull lived a life emblematic of so many ideas and themes saturating the way we talk about Native Americans on the frontier and into the modern age.
In order to gain a better understanding of how the chief of an entire Indigenous nation became synonymous with the term “old west” and the focal point for countless other native leaders fighting both beside and against him, we present to you a closer inspection into the tales and times of one of the most infamous Native Americans in all of history. This is Tȟatȟáŋka, colloquially known as Sitting Bull, and one of the brightest minds of 19th century America.

Hello. I am german. I have to say that the Native Americans, regardless of whether they are young or old or from which tribe, are probably the most beautiful people in the world. Their history and culture is absolutely fascinating. It's sad what was done to them.
I'm french and I'm completly ok with it👍
"It's a good day to die." - Sitting Bull, Leader, Philosopher, Warrior Poet, Diplomat, Traveler, Strategist, Tactician, Mediator, Artist, Terrible Farmer, Legend, 7 Council Fire Patriarchal Chieftain, Human Being
That’s nice, but you attribution is wrong, Nake nula wauŋ welo! My friend, take courage. Only the Earth has no end. Let's go now! It's a good day to die! This was actually first attributed to Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse).
"Hokahey,”Nake nula wauŋ welo!" A Lakota battle cry, is commonly attributed to Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse). Hokahey is a way to call attention and Nake nula wauŋ welo means, “I am always ready, at all times, for anything.” Now, the saying has morphed into “Hokahey!” “Today is a good day to die.”
Sparta’s best warriors couldn’t have asked for anything less.
Such a great history lesson. I am almost 77 and back in my school days, history was my favorite subject and it still is. I actually had my history book taken away from me in 9th grade because I read so far ahead and when the teacher asked questions about the lesson, not only did I answer certain, but I expounded on things that were in future lessons, thus exposing my actions and had my book taken from me until the rest of the class caught up with me. LOL
We like to say we're the perfect channel for those who read too much of their history book as kids! Although, you're one of the first we've heard of having their texts taken away. We're guessing the knowledge you posses today because of that was worth it!
@@footprintsofthefrontier it really was, and believe me, once I got my texts back, I kept reading, I just was more careful in my responses to the teacher's questions.
At home I used to sit behind the chair in the living room, next to the bookcase and read the encyclopedia that my parents bought. Now Google is my best friend, I go to it whenever I find a subject I want to know more about.
History was always my favorite subject. Documentaries were the best.
@@sandidavis820 as a college freshman I excited enrolled in American History! The lectures held in huge tiered auditorm to 300 students and two huge tome text book. Very intimidating to small town texas girl. But I devoured the text and was first to arrive at lecture. Omg! It professor was so boring . He droned on for hours never make contact with a student. The exams consisted of memorizing dates. That’s it . I dropped it it complete disgust! But my love of history wasn’t quenched. I’m 73 now I still seek out historical books and video in American and world history. Thank you for this this beautifully done and a curate documentary !
@@ironbutterfly6835 I'm 77 and right now I am watching a video on the Donner Party. It's on Lore Lodge. I have been to the Donner camp, a few years back, when I was married to my 2nd husband and lived in California. It was in the spring time and there was a light rain. I could feel the pain and sadness of the people who lived and died there. It was quite an experience.
One of my brothers was given an eagle feather. A true honor. There is tribute to Sitting Bull on highway signs on the reserve where i live. Thank you 💛 for your excellent work.
This man is so fascinating to me, he was beyond brave.
Thank you for taking to time share native history based on your understanding and perception.
They are not a "band" they are a nation of tribe's, multiple tribe's.
I’m Miniconjou and Oglala Lakota, I belong to the Great Sioux Nation, which includes the 3 sub-groups, the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota. The Lakota or Teton Lakota (one of the sub-groups)consists of seven BANDS called the Oceti Sakowin or Seven Council Fires, they are: Sičháŋǧu (Brulé, Burned Thighs) Oglála ("They Scatter Their Own"). Itázipčho (Sans Arc, Without Bows) Húŋkpapȟa (Hunkpapa, "End Village", Camps at the End of the Camp Circle) Mnikȟówožu (Miniconjou, "Plant Near Water", Planters by the Water)Sihásapa ("Blackfeet” or “Blackfoot") and Oóhenuŋpa (Two Kettles).
Great story, very well told, this is for everybody to know, to remember to honor those who truly fought for what was right not just for riches. Great Chief, great warrior, great human being, amongst others of course. Honor. Peace.
Those are wise words, Manuel. Thanks for watching!
So much respect due this amazing man

Bury my Heart,.
Another great video. I am enjoying all of your videos.
I like Sitting Bull, I'm Sioux from Mississippi on my dad's side
Of course you are
Lakota? Which band? Who are your ancestors?
Amazing history! ❤
Thank you for this! I know next to nothing about the history of your country. To hear about some of your indigenous heroes is very interesting to me being of indigenous blood myself but Sami. Greetings from the far up north Sapmi land.
I’m sitting here semi-stunned as I watched and rewatched early in your video, the part about how the Lakota Sioux were fixed west in the 1600’s! (Before white people had exerted that force). The next sentence tells us that THE LAKOTA SIOUX FORCED THE CHEYENNE OUT OF THE BLACK HILLS!!! And then took it over as THEIR OWN homeland! Can you understand why I’m stunned? I have never once heard that version, which I’m inclined to believe, before researching it myself, based on the high quality of documentaries you do on this site. I even taught school on a Reservation but all I ever heard was how dastardly the Whites are because they pushed the Sioux off their “homeland”. Apparently, according to your sources, this wasn’t such a native homeland to the Sioux as we’ve been led to believe, and the Sioux did their own pushing and shoving all by themselves before the Whites got there! BEGS THE QUESTION, DOESN’T IT? WHY ISN’T THIS TAUGHT AS WELL?
Maga republicans are a fine example of modern day sowers of discord and imbalance. Inciting the naive & feeble minded to rise up against the greater good through ideals of conspiracy delusions of paranoia, and finding dignity & honor in the guise of deception & deceit. @@MissCleo24
The reality of encroachment manifests it's presence and influence in many ways, encroachment can present life changing constraints while others just perpetually philosophize questionable lines & limits of what encroachment of freedom is as opposed to encroaching on personal freedoms.. A vessel can only hold as much as its physical size alots or allows, anything over spills into the void of excess that does not exist, confrontation over the carelessness of encroachment usually insues and the vessel contents spent & wasted The conflict over encroachment becomes a heated exchange for obvious reasons.
We are not talking for pieces of land...They were all leaving in the same geographical space.But they were devided as different tribes TO specific pieces of land of the same area!
Ok, they say that, but how do they know whether the Lakota weren’t pushed out of He Sapa (The Black Hills) by other tribe’s previous to that? As far as I’ve always was taught, we were always on the move, moving from one place to the next and next and so forth. We didn’t put ourselves on reservations, whites did. And as far as territorial disputes amongst tribes, what business is it of anyone else’s? We had internal conflicts as most people in the world do, and some of it over territory. But to label the Lakota and others as bullies or thieves who took other people’s land is folly, it’s reckless and it completely ignores context and nuance. People cannot just plunge right in and start delegating to Indigenous people what our history and culture is without taking the time to understand that rarely is history (of any people) so black and white or set in stone.
Great, great grandson is still alive.
Many of his extended family are still here, my g+ grandmother was Sitting Bull’s sister Sees The Track.
This is too great a story for you.
First to comment. Great documentary
Even horses are the Sioux history the fathers to a sacred Sioux tradition
Please do a documentary on Annie Oakley. I’m certain she deserves a video of her own!

Thank you for confirming, my relatives fought in B of GG, most settled in the same river area Montana, I always suspected they went North into Canada with Sitting Bull..
Once I heard his mother saw him “go potty” and turned to his father and said “see, now that’s bullshit!” - is that true?
Cant believe im related to this legend
Because you aren't
Sitting Bull was a Hunkpappa Sioux medicine man.
He wasn't a warrior. Sitting Bull was a spiritual and political leader of the Sioux. He was killed by the Indian officer in charge of Indian police who came to arrest Sitting Bull for stirring up trouble on the Reservation. The Indian officer shot SB after the officer was mortally wounded by SB's followers.
His name where Sitting Down Bull. not Sitting Bull.
One of his descendants said it himself. The name is miss translated. As it's supposed to be the act of sitting down then bull. Aka Sitting Down Bull.
I dont think he minds 👻
The Buffallows are back 😁
Where are you citations for the assertions you make?
His wife's account was that the Indian police that were against him were drunk, and shot their son while in his bed and dragged him out and shot him blindside. Those BIA Indian agents that were against him were put into place by the govt. The US still does this all around the world.
So by touching the enemy and letting them know that they could kill them but chose not to, they rode off and thus inflicting some psychological warfare to make them think twice.
I can't, it's just too wrong. And there are history books about Sitting Bull, just scarce copies. Sitting Bull, according to his bio, was from a tribe living in Fort Garry which may have been a star fort. The population was scattered about. It has been said he was educated at West Point but didn't graduate because he supposedly got in trouble in the nearby town and was thrown out before he graduated. A story I highly doubt, the trouble part. He spoke English, but claimed he didn't. The Oglala Sioux adopted him. He was a very important historical figure and his people will some day tell us about him in truth. I just want to say that this isn't it. Love ya'll.
I watched the first 24:14 of the video and was so put off by the seemingly random selection of graphics used to illustrate the story I had to stop. I found the use of bearded "Indian" men,, Mexican food and Navajo flute players as background to Sitting Bull's biography offensive.
A 🏠 guest today asked me if 👁️
Was born in t/ 1800s.
If only he and his high skool amigo/a
(cuz i AM not seXist) knew
😆😮💨
Is it strange that the repetitive use of the phrase "sneak attack" becomes insulting?
*the Führer of The Lakota and Native peoples*
In the beginning of this "wild west" Documentary of a Lakota legend, i found it odd seeing Sitting Bull portrayed as a very young native child, yet seen as a white baby, and then seein the joining of 2 white hands with gold banded ring finger, suggesting a "proper" christian marriage of Sitting Bull. Couldn't the creators of this video at least find a toddler of color that might look "indian" for portraying Sitting Bull to the intended audience and even go as far as to place the natibe lookng pre- toddler in a trading post cradleboard to appear as being somewhat authentic in a timeline depicting Sitting Bull youngest years. The 2 main causes of Inter- tribal conflicts and Tribal/US government disputes, confrontations conflicts and wars was the un-entitled encroachment of land and the lack of due respect that follows being encroached upon and ultimately being occupied, deported elsewhere & becoming dependant & contained in places both unfamiliar and usually not life sustainable. As someone once said history has always been written by the victors, the winners and those genocidal maniacs whose concepts of being gentrified with civility is delusional & hypocritical at best.
Well, let's be honest in our portrayal here! You're making a point about how unjust it was for the Americans to retaliate against Sitting Bull's particular band even though they hadn't had anything to do with the Minnesota uprising. Well, the Sioux ALSO took out their vengeance on people that hadn't directly done anything to them! Scalping women and children, and, in one case, even throwing a live baby into a fire in front of its own mother, then killing the mother as the baby burned to death! What offence had that baby, or any of those women, perpetrated against the Sioux?? Just existing??? I'm not asking you to ignore atrocities, I'm just asking you to point them out on BOTH sides where they happen. For one thing, it'll confuse your audience if you don't because they'll be missing context.
I see your side and can kind of agree, but this video is about the Native Americans stories. I am Irish, Scottish, Dutch and Native American, so I can see all sides. And don't ever get me started on the english and Irish history. I'm very much on the side of the Irish, to the point I won't claim the english as I may have english blood, but hope that all the blood I have lost over the years, I hope I have lost all the english blood in my body.
One word Custer. Yankee liars.
the american native fought for there own land period
By killing and enslaving innocent women and children and stealing land from one another? The US army gets a lot of flack for what they did to the Indians but they fought the Indians how the Indians fought the Indians. I’m sure if your family was murdered by the Indians of the plains, your wife and kids stolen, your horses, your home burned to the ground? They weren’t noble savages like you try to make them out to be.
Europeans have been killing one another for a stupid sky God, they fought more war compared to Native Americans for centuries and spreading their destructive wars across continents with Is huge catastrophic deaths.
I'm Native American these cavemen have always been a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians.
This narrator does not have the right voice for this type of doc.
Very true.
Why u showing white kids there indian
Buffalo Bill brought native American Indians too DUKE STREET in Glasgow Scotland UK for the show he did ( I WONDER IF SITTING BULL WAS AMONG THEM ) I also think that buffalo Bill brought the native American Indians to Scotland was too show them the large streets and houses and buildings built in stone and stone roads etc
TOO INTIMIDATE THEM
I'm with that person need.a new narrator.
Just about all Indian tribes' histories look the same - they were "great" warriors (who all eventually lost). They all fought ferociously. They all dressed like primitive natives, wearing animal parts. They were grown men who believed in fairy tales and myths that dictated their actions. They didn't contribute to the higher accomplishments that humans are capable (for ten thousand years they stagnated as a civilization - their music stayed the same, their cuisine, "medicine," and art). Yes, they didn't do too much damage to their environment but then neither did animals. People who glorify Native Peoples should really be ashamed of such minimal humans.
This would be a great history lesson if you actually studied your subject and had your history correct. This version of history is same as what is taught in schools which is totally wrong.
