Muffled Cries
Just 14 years old in 1845, “Slow,” as the Hunkpapa youth was called,
sought to prove himself in battle. Like all young men of his Plains
Indian tribe, he wanted to enter the coveted warrior ranks.
His nickname in no way implied dim-wittedness, but rather a
thoughtful hesitancy before plunging into new endeavors. Yet on
this scorching midsummer day, Slow, as he raced his powerful gray
mount to meet up with 10 Hunkpapa tribal warriors off to gather
scalps, horses, and glory, decided to take a risk. He would beg his
older warrior “brothers,” one of whom was his father, to take him
along, to allow him, young and generally untested as he was, to duel
against the hated Crow. In doing so, Slow hoped to gain his moment
in the sun, to garner his first coup (pronounced “coo”), or victory
against an enemy.
With Slow reluctantly accepted, the war party proceeded up the
Powder River (in what is now central and north-central Wyoming)
to search for adversaries. On the third day out, a dozen mounted
Crow were spotted beside a creek. As the Hunkpapa immediately
charged, the Crow spread out, with one warrior attempting to es-
cape. Slow, his naked body (except for a breechcloth) painted yel-
low from head to foot, shrieked a war cry and galloped in pursuit.
Pulling abreast of the Crow (who had notched an arrow, ready to
shoot), Slow smashed his foe with a tomahawk, knocking him from
his mount. A fellow Hunkpapa quickly finished the fallen warrior.

 8 Sitting Bull

Slow, however, by making contact with an enemy, had counted this

as his first coup. In an instant, he had become a Hunkpapa warrior.
That evening, Slow’s proud father gave a feast, during which he
boasted about his son’s exploits. Slow was presented with a white
feather, to be placed upright in the hair as a symbol of his first coup.
The father substituted a fine bay horse for the boy’s gray. And the
older Hunkpapa painted his son black all over in a token of victory
before leading him around the camp to great applause.
In the ultimate accolade, however, the father awarded Slow
the elder’s name. Born Jumping Badger but nicknamed Slow,
from now on the youthful warrior, with ability so aptly demon-
strated this day, would be known as Tatanka-Iyotanka, or Sitting
Bull. The name, according to Robert Utley, author of The Lance
and the Shield, “suggested an animal possessed of great endur-
ance, his build much admired by the people, and when brought to
bay planted immovably on his haunches to fight on to the death.”
Such would reflect Sitting Bull’s life, his story, to the day the proud
Hunkpapa died.

Silence Is Golden
Within minutes, perhaps seconds, of his birth in 1831, Sitting Bull
was, according to custom, forced into silence, his baby cries muf-
fled, or snuffed out. The boy’s mother, Her-Holy-Door, immediately
took her infant son’s nose, as he puckered to release a scream, be-
tween her thumb and forefinger, with her palm placed gently over
his mouth. The boy’s cry thus suppressed, he twisted for breath and
his mother let go, but only a little. At the first sign of another cry, his
air would be cut off again.
And so it would go, with Sitting Bull’s mother day after day,
weaning her newborn into silence. According to Mari Sandoz, au-
thor of These Were the Sioux:

During the newborn minutes, that newborn hour, Indi-

an children, boy and girl, were taught the first and great-
est lesson of their lives: that no one could be permitted

 Muffled Cries 9

Sitting Bull, one of the most important figures in American Indian history, was
a member of the Hunkpapa tribe of the Plains region. Raised to be tough and
fearless, he became a warrior at an early age and later, as an adult, the leader
of a union of tribes and nations militantly opposed to the westward expansion
of the U.S. government.

to endanger the people by even one cry to guide a roving

enemy to the village or to spoil a hunt that could mean
the loss of the winter meat for a whole band or even a
small tribe.

In the years to come, as a Hunkpapa boy would be taken out at

night to guard the village or horse herd, he would be expected to
endure the greatest of pains with only a small whimper. If he fell
from the limb of a high tree, he would fight, clenching his teeth, to
remain silent. Thus a young American Indian prepared himself to
be the silent stalker of human enemies and grazing buffalo.
That rival warrior bands prowled the Plains looking for a fight,
there was no doubt. True, in many cases, the ensuing battles were
scarcely more dangerous than hard-fought football games of today.
But in struggles for hunting grounds, or when warriors went out on
revenge raids, the situation could quickly get ugly. Utley spared no
feelings when he declared, “Men, women, and children of all ages
expected to be killed if seized or cornered, their scalps and other
parts of the body torn off as trophies, their remains hacked and dis-
figured as a permanent affliction in the spirit world.”
Silence, at the right moment, was not only golden, but
lifesaving.

Nomads of the Plains

Sitting Bull was born a Sioux. For an American Indian in the fourth
decade of the nineteenth century, that was considered a good thing.
The Sioux Nation reigned as a superpower throughout the North-
ern Plains. The total Sioux homeland took in a vast area centered
in what is now South Dakota, but it also spread west into Montana
and Wyoming, north into North Dakota, east into Minnesota, and
south into Nebraska. Smaller tribes in the region feared the mighty
Sioux and paid them tribute.
The nation itself was (and still is) divided into three distinct
groups. In the east, in the Minnesota woodlands, were the Dakota.
Farther west, into America’s prairie region, the Nakota lived. And

LWW-Sitting Bull_3.indd 10 1/7/10 10:43:18 AM

 Muffled Cries 11

out west, on the vast Plains, were the Lakota. The Lakota probably
numbered no more than 20,000 to 30,000 in 1830.
The Lakota culture was (according to Utley) hardly a generation
old at the time of Sitting Bull’s birth. It was only at the beginning of
the nineteenth century that they fully transitioned from pedestrians
to mounted nomads. On horseback, the Lakota ranged, east to west,
from the high Plains between the Missouri River and the Bighorn
Mountains, to the Canadian prairies to the north and the Platte and
Republican rivers to the south.
Within the Lakota grouping were seven tribes, one of which
was the Hunkpapa (“gatekeepers”). It was into this large grouping,
with its approximately 500 lodges, sheltering 3,500 individuals, that
Sitting Bull was brought silently into the world.
The ability of any Plains Indian tribe, particularly the Hunk-
papas, to travel far and wide rested entirely on the back, literally,
of the amazing horse. Brought north out of Mexico by the Spanish
centuries earlier, the horse first penetrated the southern and then
the northern Plains. Tribes everywhere begged, borrowed, stole, or
traded with one another for what the Sioux soon came to call sunka
wakan, the “sacred dog.” It was a just tribute. After all, compared to
the dog, the horse ranged farther, pulled larger and heavier loads,
and most remarkably, bore a rider. To the Hunkpapa, the horse was,
indeed, wakan—powerful and sacred.
The horse enabled the Plains Indians to break out into a full-
time nomadic life. As Thomas Mails declared in The Mystic War-
riors of the Plains:

Before this they [the Plains Indians] were semi-

nomadic, with small bands of Indian families moving
out at intervals from fairly stationary villages to hunt
buffalo at piskins and buffalo jumps. With the horse to
carry them, their tipis [also spelled “tepees”], and their
other possessions, they could follow the roving buffalo
herds throughout the good-weather months, and they
could raid the enemy’s horse herds at greater distances
in shorter periods of time.

 12 Sitting Bull

It was this ability, above all, to hunt buffalo in a new and more
effective way that elevated the horse to its exalted status and allowed
Plains Indians, most notably the Hunkpapa-Lakota, to enter into
their mid-nineteenth-century golden age.

Buffalo Runners
Just how many buffalo (also known as bison) roamed the vast Great
Plains at the time of Sitting Bull no one knows. Dale Lott, a noted
authority on the subject, put the number at 30 million, though less-
informed investigators are often willing to double that figure. No
matter, 30 million is an awesome number. Early travelers could
spend days moving cautiously among the plodding mammals.
Some herds stretched for mile upon mile, covering the land from
one horizon to the next.
It was a good thing there were so many buffalo, for by the early
1800s Plains Indians had become totally dependent on every inch
of the animal for their wants and for their survival. According to the
authors of Indian Wars:

Buffalo meat was the principal Indian food. From the

hide came robes for warmth and trade and skins for the
distinctive conical tepee that sheltered the family. Hides,
stomach, and intestines were fashioned into containers
for cooking, storage, and transport, bones into tools.
Even the dried droppings, buffalo chips, made fuel when
wood was scarce.

To bring a buffalo down, to slay it for all these uses, was not an
easy task, however. Only the most able tribal hunters were up to the
challenge.
Key to accomplishing the deed was, of course, the horse. Not
any horse would do, to be sure, but only one groomed specifically
for the task, one with breakaway speed that could also stop short
and make quick turns. Known as a “buffalo runner,” the animal
would be drilled from an early age to race and parallel any galloping

 Muffled Cries 13

Buffalo was a major resource for many Native American tribes and
nations. One animal could provide meat for food, skins for clothes and
teepees, bones for tools and weapons, and more. At an early age, Sitting
Bull knew how important the buffalo were to his people and killed his first
buffalo calf when he was 10 years old.

bison, a beast the horse instinctively knew was more powerful and
faster than it.
Since a rider required the use of both hands to work his favor-
ite killing weapon, the all but silent bow and arrow, his horse was
disciplined to respond to his voice, the shifting of his hips, and the
pressure of his knees. A truly skilled hunter could send an arrow
clean through a buffalo, emerging on the animal’s far side. Each ar-
row had a long, tapered head, with its rear sloping backward, which
made it all the better to recover and reuse. A groove along the shaft
would allow the buffalo’s blood to flow freely, helping the fallen ani-
mal to bleed to death.

 14 Sitting Bull

The finest American Indian buffalo slayers were men of great

patience, guile, and speed, rather than brute power. They displayed
traits honed from birth—the gifts of a caring, close-knit tribe.

Brave as an Elk
Among the Sioux, a child was considered to have been sent by Wa-
kan Tanka, the Great Spirit, as a precious gift, to be treasured not
only by his biological parents but also by the community as a whole.
“Every fire became like that of his parents, welcoming the explor-
ing, the sleepy, or injured toddler,” Mari Sandoz notes. “Every pot
would have a little extra for a hungry boy, and every ear was open to
young sorrow, young joys and aspirations.”
So it was with Slow when, as a child, he sought to know and
explore the world around him. As a Hunkpapa infant, he would
have been taught to swim almost from birth. “After all,” as Sandoz
points out, “every Indian child had to keep himself afloat awhile if
he slipped off into deep water, was caught in a cloudburst or in a
river accident while the people were fleeing enemies or a buffalo
stampede.”
As Slow grew, his father impressed upon him the need to study
the animals and model himself after them. According to Albert
Marrin, “He should be brave as an elk, watchful as the frog, patient
as the spider, quiet as the snake, swift as the dragonfly, elusive as
the coyote, and strong as a buffalo.” A boy would be taught to pick
up animal droppings, feel them, their hardness and warmth telling
him what animal had left them, what it had eaten, and how close it
was. He even learned to “read” a patch of dried urine. “The position
of urine in relation to a horse’s hoof prints revealed its sex and its
rider’s mission,” Marrin notes.
It was, of course, a kinship with horses that Slow, above all else,
was expected to establish at an early age. At three, he could probably
mount a horse, even if it meant shinnying up the animal’s foreleg,
as a squirrel ascends a tree. At five, Slow would probably have been
given his own horse to care for. By the age of seven, he was undoubt-
edly looking after the family herd.

LWW-Sitting Bull_3.indd 14 1/7/10 10:43:20 AM

 Muffled Cries 15

And at the age of 10, Slow killed his first buffalo. “When I was
ten years old,” Slow later boasted, according to Robert Utley, “I
was famous as a hunter. My specialty was buffalo calves. I gave the
calves that I killed to the poor that had no horses. I was considered
a good man.”
By the time Slow reached his teens, he was clearly an accom-
plished horseman. Slow, no doubt, had learned to ride hour upon
hour at the fastest speed. He would have been taught to leap from
a tired horse to a fresh mount while both were at full gallop. Slow,
most assuredly, even learned to sleep while riding. According to
Thomas Mails, “Groups would divide into sections while being pur-
sued, one section sleeping hanging over their horse’s necks, while
the other led them—and drove a stolen herd at the same time.”
Thus, at the age of 14 when Slow was given his new name, Sitting
Bull, he had learned and absorbed much. A Hunkpapa hunter/war-
rior, provider/protector, of extraordinary promise had emerged.

the lakota Way

The mid- to late-nineteenth-century Lakota-Sioux were the quint-
essential Plains Indians of our contemporary imagination. Feather-
strewn, yet nearly naked, the horseback-riding hunter/warrior
Lakota are, thanks to cheap novels and Hollywood movies, what
most Americans see when they envision American Indians of the
Old West. Nonetheless, in counterpoint to this warring, violent im-
age, the Lakota lived a life built on comforting family values and,
above all, spirituality. The Lakota were a deeply religious people,
forever seeking a oneness with Wakan Tanka, the Great Mystery.
Central to understanding the all-encompassing Wakan Tanka
was the belief in the “circle of life.” According to William Wallis,
author of Selected Essays, “Through his [the Lakota’s] words he ex-
presses his fundamental belief: that all life is a circle of being and that
all things belong in that circle. He seeks harmony with the forces of
nature so that he might become one with them, one with the Great
Mystery, which is all things.”
For the Lakota, the circle was everywhere. His home, the te-
pee, was circular. When setting up camp, tepees were placed in
a circle. Celestial objects, such as the Sun and the Moon, were, of
course, circular. To the Lakota, all good and natural things were
circular in form. For them, it was about wishing to be one with
the world, to reside, as Wallis declared, “with the whole circle of
existence.”

 The Lakota Way 17

The Sun Dance was a religious ceremony common to the American Indian
tribes of the Great Plains. Dancing to honor their connection to the Great Spirit
(or as the Lakota called it, the “Great Mystery”), these tribes would gather in
a circle and sing, dance, fast, experience visions, and sometimes men would
self-mutilate as a religious offering.

In seeking accord with Wakan Tanka, the Lakota gathered an-

nually for the Sun Dance, which was performed in a great circle. The
most sacred of all Lakota ceremonies, the Sun Dance was held for
12 days around the time of the summer solstice. The dance involved
singing, dancing, drumming, fasting, and the seeking of a vision. It
also embraced self-mutilation. According to Albert Marrin, “Men
