In this dark room, in this place of fences, strange smells, and men with yellow eyes where finally I am caught and cannot get free, I close my eyes and am home again. . . . Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapa band of the Sioux Nation was a warrior, a visionary, a horseman and hunter, and a man who had a deep affinity with nature. Above all, he is remembered as an extraordinary leader who fought for the freedom of his people and helped to preserve their spirit, even in a time of great tragedy. Chosen to be the war chief of the Sioux Nation in 1869 as battles with the United States government increased, he resisted the white soldiers who threatened to exterminate his people, their claim to the land, and their entire way of life. From the acclaimed author and illustrator of Abe Lincoln Remembers comes an unforgettable fictional portrait of Sitting Bull, looking back on the events that shaped his life and fate. Historically accurate, powerfully evocative paintings and words are as moving as the story they tell.
Dear Ann Turner, I liked the book sitting bull remerbers because it describse how th indians keep there land clean. Then it says that the whites killed the buffalo because it was messing up the train tracks. My favorite part was when he killed a enemy warrior.He was a part of the Siox NationIt also describes how the white men came and killed the indians. I like how yo described how the indianns felt when all the buffalos were killed.I liked i like how the shared the buffalo so no one went empty handed. The indianns were gettung mad because the white men were polluting the air. Many indianns fear from the white men because they attacted them. The indianns were scared that death was coming. I liked how the clay dolls were used . I like how you described how smoke rose over the village.I think you are a great writer. I think you are a great auther I like this book because it was made with feeling. Dobys Mill Elemntary Sincerely Joe Mrs.Mccalls class
