Sitting Bull
Sitting Bull var en af de kendeste indianerhøvdinge i Nordamerika. Han blev født ca. 1834 og tilhørte the Hunkpapa Teton Sioux, der boede på prærien. I sin ungdom besluttede Sitting Bull sig til at bekæmpe de hvide, og han ændrede aldrig mening. Efter kampen i 1865 ved Power floden, hvor mange af hans mænd mistede livet, indså han dog, at al deres tapperhed og kampånd var spildt, hvis de kun havde bue og pil til at kæmpe med; forskellen mellem soldaternes og indianernes våben var for stor. Indianerne ønskede blot at få lov til at leve i fred, og The Great Father, som USA’s præsident kaldtes, lovede det også den ene gang efter den anden, men hans løfter blev ikke holdt. Et af de bedst kendte eksempler er kampen om the Black Hills. I en traktat fra 1869 stod der, at dette hellige område tilhørte indianerne. Men fire år senere, da der blev fundet guld, var mere end tusinde hvide snart på vej ind i området. Idianerne protesterede forgæves og nægtede at sælge området, og i 1876 begyndte den krig, som idanerne tabte. Men de vandt et vigtigt slag ved Little Bighorn floden. Det lykkes en af general Custers officerer at overraske Sitting Bulls lejr, men Sitting Bull tabte ikke hovedet. Han samlede hurtigt sine mænd, og Custers hær blev fuldstændig slået. General Custer, eller ”Long Hair”, som han kaldtes af sine fjender, blev bagefter fundet med mange sår på kroppen.

Sitting Bull was one of the most well-known chief Indians in North America. He was born in approximately 1834 and belonged to the Hunkpapa Teton Sioux, which lived on the prairie. In his youth, Sitting Bull decided to fight the White Man and he never changed his mind. After the battle in 1865 at the Power River, where many of his men lost their lives, he realized however, that all their bravery and fighting spirit was wasted, if they only had bows and arrows to fight with; the difference between the soldier’s and the Indian’s weapons was too big. The Indians wished only to live in peace, and The Great Father, as USA’s president was called, also promised it time and time again but his promises were never kept. One of the best well-known examples is the fight of the Black Hills. In a treaty from 1869 it was written, that the holy area belonged to the Indians. But four years later when gold was found, more than a thousand of white men soon entered the area. The Indians protested in vain and denied to sell the area, and in 1876 the war began, which the Indians lost. But they won an important battle at the Little Bighorn River. One of general Custer’s officers succeeded in ambushing Sitting Bull’s camp, but Sitting Bull remained cool. He quickly gathered all of his men, and Custer’s army was totally defeated. General Custer or “Long Hair” as he was called by his enemies, was later found with many wounds on his body.
