Episode 54: Sitting Bull (Part 1)
Added 2023-01-26 05:39:41 +0000 UTCIn historical terms, it was just a blink of an eye ago. In the mid-1800s, the Great Plains in the United States were still firmly in the hands of nomadic, buffalo hunting tribes. The looming threat of American expansion was still barely noticeable. But things changed quickly, and soon the tribes were locked in an existential struggle with the U.S. for control of the heartland of North America. One man rose among these tribes to lead his people to resisting the inevitable for over two decades. By the time he was 10 years old, the boy who would become the Lakota leader Sitting Bull, had killed his first bison by running him down and putting an arrow through its heart. In the opinion of his fellow tribesmen, his ability as a hunter and as a warrior was only second to his generosity in taking care of widows and orphans. In this first episode of this series, we’ll see Sitting Bull dueling man-to-man against a Crow chief, adopting a boy from an enemy tribe, avenging his father (Conan The Barbarian-style), having visions, acquiring shamanic powers, dealing with marriages and grief, leading the first round of warfare against the U.S., and much, much more.

2023-12-17 07:55:13 +0000 UTCI listened to the Sitting bull series last week I think it was. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have listened to alot of your content on spotify. Was turned on to your Podcast by Darryl Cooper because I also love and support Martyr made. I do cnc machining for 12 hrs a day 4 days out of the week, and having awesome story tellers like you to listen to helps keep me going. Sitting Bull was definitely one of my favorite stories to hear you tell so far because your passion for Lakota stories and culture really shines through. Keep Up the amazing work man. I look forward to hearing many more historic tales from you!
