Sitting Bull

Now in paperback, this is the only book on Sitting Bull written by a lineal descendant of the famous Hunkpapa Lakota chief. Ernie LaPointe is the great-grandson of Sitting Bull, and he presents the family tales and memories told to him about his great-grandfather in this compelling monograph. In many ways, the oral history differs from what has become the standard and widely accepted biography of Sitting Bull. LaPointe explains the discrepancies, how they occurred, and why he wants to tell his story of Tatanka Iyotake.
