SITTING BULL WHO WAS THE
INDIAN SPHINX

XX/HEN historians have written the
w last word about the American
Indian, they will be unable to agree In
their estimate Of Sitting Bull (Tatan-
ka Yotanka) chief of the Hunkpapa
Sioux. Perhaps no other Indian ever
received so much notoriety; probably
none ever deserved it less.
He was not a hereditary chief nor
great war leader. Some who knew
him have called him a coward; others
say he was brave enough but prudent.
In the strictest sense he was not q
medicine man, as he frequently has
been called, although his personal
medicine" was strong. Who, then,
and what was Sitting Bull? He was a
keen judge of human nature and he
was lucky in his prophecies, notably
in predicting the destruction of Cen
eral Custer. He was great leader
with some mysterious power over his
people.
Perhaps they saw personified in him
the undying spirit of resistance to the
white man. God Almighty made me
an Indian. He didn't make me an
agency Indian and l don't intend to
be one" he told General Miles in 1877.
That was the keynote Of his whole
career. 1t resulted In his leading his
people to Canada where they remained
until 1881, when starvation forced him
to return to the United States and
surrender
Sitting Bull had grim sense Of hui
NOR. Once trader at Fort BufOrd
gave him a red shirt with the sugges-
ton that he wear it when he came for
war. Sitting Bull accepted the gar
ment with the remark that fright now
would be a good time to put it on"
He did so and when his band left the
trading post they turned and fired a
volley into the building.
The old chief had two wives, and
when Bishop Marty tried to persuade
him to divorce one, Sitting Bull re-
piled: 1.-The black gown is my friend
and l will do this for him. l will put
away both my wives and he will get
me a white wife" The proposition
was not accepted.
In the Sixties Sitting Bull had said:
"The whites may get me at last, but
will have good time until then"
He proved a true prophet In saying
that. In an effort to quiet the ghost
dance excitement, Indian police were
sent on December Is, $780, to arrest
Sitting Bull. Some Of the Hunkpapa
resisted and In the melee that followed
Sitting Bull was shot dead. Like King
Philip and Pontiac he was killed by
members of his own race, but, as he
foretold the whites got him at last"

CHIEF GALL, A GENERAL OF
THE HUNKPAPAS
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

GSDAINFUL as it is to me to look

Mrs. Custer of a photograph of Gall
| PtzD, chief Of the Hunkpapa Sioux.
| Call was an orphan boy who became
chief by his deeds as IL warrior. That
he possessed high military talents was
shown at the Battle of Little Big
| Horn.
Although the honorS there were
about equally divided between Gall
and Crazy Horse, the credit for one
vital Indian maneuver In the battle be-
longs to the Hunkpapa alone. When
Reno attacked the Indian village, the
Indians We're thrown into confusion.
Into their midst dashed Gall mounted
on his black war horse. Hold hard,
men!" he shouted. STEADY, we are not
ready yet. Wait for more guns, more
horses and the day is yours
They obeyed him and few minutes
later he led the charge which forced
Reno to retreat. With this officer
eliminated, Gall led his savage host
across the river to join Crazy Horse
IN overwhelming Clusters five troops.
Gall then tried to follow up his adj
vantage by returning to annihilate
Reno, hesieged on the bluffs, but his
warriors who We're plundering the
fallen soldiers did not care to help
him achieve this final master stroke.
Gall followed Sitting Bull to Canada
In 1877, but three years later with
drew his support and returned to the
United States to surrender. AS a
fighting man, Gall despised the high
pretensions of Sitting Bull and dared
to denounce his leader as a fraud and
coward even when Sitting Bull was
still a power among his people. He
was proud man. too. After the sur
render Of the tribe, Col. W. F. Cody
buffalo BilD tried to get Sitting Bull
and Gall for leading attractions In his
Wild West show. Sitting Bull con-
sented. II am not an animal to be ex-
hibited before the crowd" replied Gall
haughtily as he turned away to his
lodge.
After settling on the reservation,
Gall cast his influence toward peace
and steadily opposed the reactionary
influence OF Sitting Bull. He was made
judge Of the court of Indian offenses
In that position he had the satisfac-
ton of haling Sitting Bull into court
and confiscating the tomahawk with
which the old man assaulted a chief
named Shell King as we'll as the knife
which Shell King had tried to use on
Sitting Bull.
Gall died December 5, 1894.
