Sitting Bull
Sitting Bull( in Standard Lakota orthography, also nicknamed" Húŋkešni" or" Slow") was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who led his people during years of resistance to United States government policies.
He was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him, at a time when authorities feared that he would join the Ghost Dance movement.
Before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull had a vision in which he saw many soldiers," as thick as grasshoppers," falling upside down into the Lakota camp, which his people took as a foreshadowing of a major victory in which many soldiers would be killed.
About three weeks later, the confederated Lakota tribes with the Northern Cheyenne defeated the 7th Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer on June 25, 1876, annihilating Custer's battalion and seeming to bear out Sitting Bull's prophetic vision.
Sitting Bull's leadership inspired his people to a major victory.
In response, the US government sent thousands more soldiers to the area, forcing many of the Lakotas to surrender over the next year.
But Sitting Bull refused to surrender, and in May 1877 he led his band north to Wood Mountain, North- Western Territory( now Saskatchewan).
He remained there until 1881, at which time he and most of his band returned to US territory and surrendered to U.S. forces.
After working as a performer with" Buffalo Bill's Wild West" show, Sitting Bull returned to the Standing Rock Agency in South Dakota.
Because of fears that he would use his influence to support the Ghost Dance movement, Indian Service agent James McLaughlin at Fort Yates ordered his arrest.
During an ensuing struggle between Sitting Bull's followers and the agency police, Sitting Bull was shot in the side and head by Standing Rock policemen Lieutenant Bull Head(" Tatankapah") and Red Tomahawk(" Marcelus Chankpidutah") after the police were fired upon by Sitting Bull's supporters.
His body was taken to nearby Fort Yates for burial.
In 1953, his Lakota family exhumed what were believed to be his remains, reburying them near Mobridge, South Dakota, near his birthplace.

James Morrow Walsh
James Morrow Walsh,( 22 May 1840 – 25 July 1905) was a North- West Mounted Police( NWMP) officer and the first Commissioner of the Yukon Territory.
Born in Prescott, Ontario, James Walsh was one of the original officers of the NWMP.
Superintendent Walsh was assigned in 1875 to establish a post in the Cypress Hills in what is now Saskatchewan.
He named it Fort Walsh after himself.
The location of the post was determined by the Cypress Hills Massacre in 1873, an atrocity stemming from the illegal American whiskey trade.
Walsh's original role was to shut down this trade, but in June 1876 his position grew in importance when several thousand Sioux crossed the border into Canada, taking refuge there after the Battle of Little Big Horn.
They settled near the Wood Mountain post in present- day Saskatchewan.
Walsh developed a strong friendship with the famous Sioux leader Sitting Bull and successfully kept peace in the region.
By the summer of 1877, Walsh, although still in command of Fort Walsh, spent little time there.
His headquarters became the Wood Mountain post, among Sitting Bull and 5,000 Sioux.
During this time, Walsh became famous in the American press as" Sitting Bull's Boss."
In reality, Walsh was unable to fulfill his orders to convince Sitting Bull to return to the U.S..
The Canadian government decided that Walsh's friendship with Sitting Bull was an obstacle to the Sioux's return to the United States, and in 1880 he was transferred to Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan.
Soon after, he took health leave and returned to Ontario.
He reluctantly resigned his commission three years later.
In August 1897, during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, Walsh was appointed Commissioner of the newly created Yukon Territory.
He resigned soon after in 1898.
His successor was William Ogilvie.
He died in Brockville, Ontario in 1905.
Mount Walsh, a mountain peak in the Saint Elias Mountains in the Yukon is named after him.
