Unyielding in his resolve, he united Native Nations in an extraordinary alliance, lead them in the historic Battle of Little Bighorn against US Army General George Armstrong Custer, gained worldwide fame with Buffalo Bill Cody, and courageously fought against seemingly impossible odds. Told through expert interviews, dramatic yet authentic scripted sequences, and supplemented by rich archival material, <em>&#8220;Sitting Bull&#8221;<\/em> details the seminal moments and key figures in Native American history including the Washita Massacre, renowned warrior Crazy Horse, the Battle of Cedar Creek, and the Wounded Knee Massacre.<\/p>\n<p>A+E Networks holds worldwide distribution rights to &#8220;Sitting Bull.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Sitting Bull&#8221;<\/em> is produced for The HISTORY Channel by Stephen David Entertainment and Appian Way Productions, in partnership with IllumiNative and GroupM Motion Entertainment.
