GC10 1/9th Sitting Bull of the Hunlpapa Sioux £23.75

Probably the most widely known Indian leader, Sitting Bull was revered as one of the greatest leaders of the Sioux nation. While still a young man, he developed a reputation as a medecine man devoted to the guidance and the protection of his people. A stubborn partisan of the resistance to the white man, he was held responsible of Custer's defeat at Little Bighorn in 1876. After the battle, Sitting Bull and his followers fled to Canada and stayed there until 1881 when he surrendered to the U.S.government and was placed on the Standing Rock Reservation, South Dakota. For a year, he went on tour with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Later on, he was falsely accused of introducing the Ghost Dance cult to the reservation and was murdered by Indian policemen on December 1890. The model is loosely based on a contemporary photograph made in 1883 during Sitting Bull's reservation period. It shows the old chief in white man's clothing with a butterfly pinned to his hat. The Indian touch is given by the otter fur wrapped braid, the brass ring pendant and the brown-and-white horsehair hat band.
