Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake)
1831 CE–1890 CE · Lakota country (N. Plains)
Tatanka Iyotake, known as Sitting Bull, was a leader and holy man of the Hunkpapa Lakota on the northern Plains. He became a central figure of Lakota resistance to U.S. expansion, and the alliance of Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho gathered under his spiritual leadership defeated Lt. Col. George Custer's forces at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. After years of exile in Canada he returned and surrendered, and he was killed in 1890 amid tensions surrounding the Ghost Dance movement.
