Sitting Bull - The Life of a Lakota Sioux Chief (Paperback)

Sitting Bull famously defeated the US Cavalry led by General Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. A wise and fearless warrior Sitting Bull was the last Indian to surrender to the US government. The speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style illustrations of the graphic novel create a dynamic format that encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved in the story. Opening pages provide historical context about the Great Plains - the harsh climate and the Buffalo herds that roamed there; the Sioux Nation and their tribal lands; and the drive westward by white settlers. Closing pages relate the end of Indian resistance and the final defeat of the Sioux tribe at the Battle of Wounded Knee, and how the Sioux Indians live today. This work also includes a glossary, index and recommended further reading. It supports KS2 History: 'a world history study' and helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.
