Chief Sitting Bull, (1831-1890), of the Sioux Indians spent his life working for the right of his people to own and control their land. He was shot by the Indian police on a questionable charge of resisting arrest.

General Custer, (1839-1876),was the youngest general in the U. S. Army. He first saw action in the Civil War, and was later stationed in the Dakota Territory during the gold rush on Sioux land. In 1876 he led an attack against an Indian encampment at Little Big Horn. Sitting Bull and his men outnumbered Custer's regiment and easily defeated them, leaving no survivors.
