Sitting Bull Speaks

'Sitting Bull is arguably one of the best-known Native American leaders, and his life has been extensively documented. In Sitting Bull Speaks, Brad Lookingbill doesn't aim to retell these familiar stories. Instead, he allows Sitting Bull to speak for himself. Drawing from various archives and sources, the book weaves a compelling and well-researched narrative centered on Sitting Bull's own words and thoughts. Lookingbill introduces each document with thoughtful commentary, guiding the reader through the historical context. Though the title Sitting Bull Speaks echoes that of Neihardt's classic Black Elk Speaks, this work goes further by presenting an authentic account of Sitting Bull's voice. It offers a deeper understanding not only of the man himself but also of the Lakota world in which he lived.'
