Episode description
Before dawn on December 15, 1890, a gunshot rang out on the Standing Rock Reservation, and Sitting Bull, the legendary Lakota chief, was dead. His assassination, carried out by Native police under U.S. government orders, marked not just the end of a man but the symbolic death of Native resistance on the Northern Plains.
