Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (c. 1831 – December 15, 1890), known in English as Sitting Bull, was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who fought against U.S. colonizers. Along with Crazy Horse (Tȟašúŋke Witkó), he led the Lakota and Cheyenne to defeat Custer's Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of Little Bighorn. He later went into exile in Canada but returned to his homeland in 1881. The United States put him under house arrest and then killed him in 1890.[1]
