Sitting Bull, the Hunkpapa Lakota leader, is shown here at both the moment of his capture and his death, a pairing the title makes explicit. In December 1890, federal agents and Lakota police moved to arrest him at his home on the Standing Rock Reservation, worried that he would support the Ghost Dance movement. The arrest turned violent, and he was shot by Lakota police officers. His death shocked many Americans and stands as one of the most remembered episodes of the late Indian Wars.
