EDITORS COMMENTS
"This powerful portrait captures the indomitable spirit of Sitting Bull, the renowned Chief of the Sioux Nation, who led his people in resistance against American encroachment on their lands. The image, taken around 1877, shows Sitting Bull in his intricately designed feathered headdress, which reaches the ground, symbolizing his status and authority. The background is simple, allowing the focus to remain on the Chief's intense gaze and the elaborate details of his regalia. Sitting Bull's resistance culminated in the historic defeat of General Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. However, following another rising in 1879, Sitting Bull and his followers were forced to flee to Canada to avoid capture. He was eventually betrayed and shot on December 15, 1890, shortly after this image was taken. Sitting Bull's story is an important chapter in American history, one that highlights the courage and resilience of the indigenous peoples in the face of colonization and displacement. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between Native Americans and European settlers, and the ongoing struggle for sovereignty and self-determination."
