Uhhhhh….which one is which?
They’re both looking like the Wife
Sitting Bull, aka Sitting Down While Peeing
The wife looks like a Far Side comic character.
These comments are why we need to stop trying to erase history. You are disrespecting one of the first true government resistance fighters. In my opinion , there aren’t many better examples of Old School Cool.
How typically Sitting Bull to be, yeah you guessed it, SITTING for photos. Like cmon bruh, yeah we get it, but really?
Would that our leaders projected such dignity
I am assuming that Sitting Bill is the one that is “sitting.”
WTF are these comments?! This is an amazing photo, and we are so lucky to have a physical glimpse into the lives of those lived so long ago.
Is Seen-by-the-Nation his wife’s name?
Good to see them sitting
he won’t stand for this!!!
(sorry i had to lighten the mood in the room)
Very long name.
This is really cool, thank you for sharing.
Wife has an amazing name I wonder if she played a big role?
For those that are interested, I watched a great documentary on PBS called the American Buffalo, directed by Ken Burns. It covers the early 1800s to late 1800s, how approximately 30 million Buffalo were killed and almost driven to extinction. Very sad how one of the enduring symbols of the American West was almost wiped out. The documentary also covers the motive behind it
I’m in the middle of The Earth is Weeping right now, a book about US fights with the Plains Indians. Sitting Bull was a badass. The Sioux were actually pretty chill towards the US. It was the whites who were looking for a conflict. And unfortunately for our ol’ buddy Custer, Sitting Bull gave it to him.
Thank you so much for these photos. Appreciate your work.
Awesome pic! I love seeing old photos like this.
They’re so ugly
Great photo!
(My god the ignorant assholes in this sub.)
So much lost.
Sitting Bull, and his wife, Sitting Nextobull.
Cool photo.. I have never seen a bald native American elder in the old photos. Male pattern baldness genes probably absent.
She’s such a hoe she’s been “seen by the nation”.
Great picture.
Seems people here don’t like photos unless they’re of someone’s hot mom.
Never seen this photo. Thanks for sharing
I thought her name was Seen by Her Nation?
