Bulls are COWS dude!

Can't you see its little horns?

QUOTE(Blinded by Fear @ Dec 15 2008, 10:37 AM) [snapback]460447[/snapback]I think it's fitting for us to remember the 118th anniversary of Mr. Bull's death. The Hunkpapa-Sioux chief was killed by General Custer's army at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
Next year we ought to commenorate the 119th anniversary and the year after that the 120th anniversary, and the year after that...
To finish off, here are a selection of quotes from Mr. Bull:
"If we must die, we die defending our rights."
"This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path."
"I am here by the will of the Great Spirit, and by his will I am chief."
Right date, wrong event. He was killed by reservation po-po at Standing Rock while in support of the Ghost Dance movement. The Battle of the Little Bighorn was fourteen years prior to that on June 25, 1876.

are not >_>

can we lock this?
its quite obvious what it was made for.

Someone just wants to show a little respect for a fallen leader.
No worries.
Sitting Bull was a very influential and important person in native american history.
albeit he's not even close to being the same type of native american that I am, I think it's appropriate enough to stay unlocked
R.I.P Sitting Bull.


P.S. Sitting Bull wasn't killed in the Custerfuck? I always thought he was.

Negatory, my Native friend. He spent quite a bit of time with Buffalo Bill's sideshow after the battle and subsequent surrender in 1881, they have a museum around the Yellowstone area somewhere specifically pertaining to the sideshow. It has one of the outfits that he donned for the "re-enactment". It's interesting and sometimes heartbreaking stuff. I think Wovoka used him as one of the emissaries of the Ghost Dance movement itself, but I'd have to check up on my books.
I haven't been out to Standing Rock myself nor Wounded Knee, but they're probably like the Little Bighorn site with that same creepy feeling.

Like Auschwitz with tomahawks and no showers?

Never been to Auschwitz...I'd compare it to the Valle de los Caidos or other massacre/battle sites that I've been to. And actually, some historians advise that the Native warriors were better armed than Custer's men, repeating rifles versus single-shot carbines. But, no one knows any concrete numbers.
