			A great leader of his people, Sitting Bull, has been betrayed and killed by one of his own people and US Indian Agents here in SD - north and east of here on the Missouri River acros from what is now Mobridge. His band of people tried to get away, in deep December cold, by going throught the Badlands, a truly desolate plate, a mini Grand Canyojn but no water. In snow and freezing cold the elderw and the women and children walked while the warriors tried to keep guard. Many died along the way.
			The 7th Cav followed them all the way on horseback - a long way. When they reached Wounded Knee, almost at the border of Nebraska, they were all killed, men women and children. There is a gravesite there that is a great thing of contention between the verious Teton Sioux bands, as the Oglala Lakota Sioux have the reservation where they were slain and buried, but the minneconjoux Sioux and others ofn the Standing Rock Reservation where they came from want to have the right to guard the memoria
			... but the minneconjoux Sioux and others ofn the Standing Rock Reservation where they came from want to have the right to guard the memorial. Standing Rock's people used to do a memorial ride but spirits of dead cav soldiers and also warriors started to appear; when they cancelled the annual ride, the spirits went away.
			We live not very far from Pine Ridge Reservation, where Wounded Knee is. Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is about an modern day uprising by the OGLALA LAKOTA Sioux at Wounded Knee that had disastrous results.
			For a fantastic book about the people of Sitting Bull today, read "Neither Wolf Nor Dog" by Kent Nerburn. Available from Amazon. They end up at the memorial at the end of the book. You will understand the plains natives like never before.
