Biography: Sitting Bull

For history scholars, the name Sitting Bull brings to mind the powerful Native American Resistance and the bloody Battle at Little Bighorn. There was much more to the Sioux medicine man's rich and varied life though, and as the filmmakers behind A&E's acclaimed Biography series of documentaries look even deeper into Sitting Bull's past, the noble efforts of one warrior to preserve his rich heritage offers a moving portrait of the man who masterminded the victory at Custer's Last Stand, and held a curious position in Buffo Bill's "Wild West Show" before meeting a grim end in captivity.
