Chief Sitting Bull rose to prominence in the Sioux warfare against
the whites and the resistance of the Native Americans under his command
to forced settlement on a reservation led to a punitive expedition. In
the course of the resistance occurred the Native American victory on
the Little Bighorn, where George Armstrong Custer and his men were
defeated and killed on June 25, 1876. Sitting Bull and some of his
followers escaped to Canada, but returned (1881) on a promise of a
pardon and were settled on a reservation. In 1885 he appeared in
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but his championship of the Native
American cause was not at an end. He encouraged the Sioux to refuse to
sell their lands, and he advocated the ghost dance religion. He was
killed by Native American police on a charge of resisting arrest.
