Who Was Sitting Bull?
No one knew the boy they called “Jumping Badger” would grow to become a great leader. Born on the banks of the Yellowstone River, Sitting Bull, as he was later called, was tribal chief and holy man of the Lakota Sioux tribe in a time of fierce conflict with the United States. As the government seized Native American lands, Sitting Bull relied on his military cunning and strong spirituality to drive forces out of his territory and ensure a future homeland for his people.

About the author
Stephanie Spinner
54 books32 followersI was born in Davenport, Iowa, and grew up in Rockaway Beach, New York. I read straight through my childhood, with breaks for food, sleep, and the bathroom. I went to college in Bennington, Vermont, moved to New York City, and took a job in publishing so I could get paid for reading. I read so much bad fiction that I needed a break, so I moved to London, and from there I traveled to Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan India, Nepal, and Ceylon. I came back to America, wandered around some more -- to Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize -- and on returning to New York decided to study Tibetan Buddhist painting (called thangka painting) in Boulder, Colorado.
I painted thangkas for many years. Each one took anywhere from several weeks to a few months to complete, and at long last I understood that this was not the ideal way for me to make a living. Only a few hundred Americans collected thangkas, and they wanted old ones, painted by Tibetan monks. It was time to make a change.
So I took another publishing job, this time in children’s books. I found that I liked children’s books a lot, and before long, I became an editor.
Years passed. I was encouraged to write. I scoffed at the idea that I had anything to write about. I edited some wonderfully talented authors -- Virginia Hamilton, Philip Isaacson, Clyde Robert Bulla, Gloria Whelan, Robin McKinley, Joan Vinge, Garth Nix, and Chris Lynch, among others -- with great enjoyment. Writing seemed like torture by comparison.
Then, to my amazement, I found myself writing a book and having a good time -- simultaneously! The book was ALIENS FOR BREAKFAST, and I enjoyed writing it because my co-author was Jonathan Etra. Jon (who died of heart disease in 1990) was a close friend with a wild sense of humor, and collaborating with him changed my opinion of writing forever. After ALIENS FOR BREAKFAST, and ALIENS FOR LUNCH, which we also co-wrote, I began to think that writing could be interesting fun.
And now that I’ve been doing it full-time for more than ten years, I can tell you why I like it better than a job. First, I can work in my bathrobe. (To the FedEx man and the UPS man, I am "the woman in the plaid flannel robe.") Second, I can eat when I’m hungry, choose when to take phone calls, and walk my dogs any time. Third, the only meetings I have -- and they’re short -- are with the dry cleaner and the post office ladies. Fourth, I can read whatever I please. I may tell people I’m doing research when I read about horse-trekking, or hunting in ancient Greece, or 16 ways to better compost, but the truth is, I’m not doing research, I’m having a good time. Which I think is still allowed.

A very sad unfortunate story. Certainly educational but just sad how the Indians were treated.
May 30, 2018
According to the National Indian Foundation, in 1500 (year of "discovery" of Brazil made by the Portuguese), the number of Indians in the Brazilian lands has reached 10 million, and today there are only 896,900 Indians, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics.

Very interesting - I don't remember much about Sitting Bull from history class. He was an extraordinary person - I envy his commitment to what he felt was right.

This was a good first look at the life of Sitting Bull.
Read
June 20, 2017Paired with:
Marshall, J. (2015). In the footsteps of Crazy Horse. New York, NY: Amulet Books.
Rationale:
At first glance, these books don't seem very related. They are both about well know Native leaders, but that seems like all. However, once you dive into them, you find out they are both from the same tribe and fought for many of the same things. By having 2 books about similar topics, but not the same person, students are exposed to multiple perspectives, not just a single story. The non-fiction book is a quick easy chapter book about Sitting Bull and the Lakota Sioux traditions he fought for. It pairs really well with the fiction book, In the Footsteps of Crazy Horse, because Crazy Horse was also from the Sioux tribe and lived in the same area. The fiction book's main character, Jimmy is 3/4 Sioux, but has white skin and blond hair. He doesn't fit the traditional Native American standard and is bullied, but he journeys to find his heritage and learns about Crazy Horse and his own traditions. This story allows students to see a representation of Sioux traditions and stories that they can then match to what they learned about Sitting Bull.
Text Structures/Text Features:
Since this is a chapter book, it has different features from a primary picture book. It does have a title page, table of contents, and headings. There are a few pictures with captions, but not as many as a picture book for younger readers. There are a few maps, which help readers find locations and places mentioned and there are some timelines, but they are not traditional, they are more scattered.
This book is a chronological representation of Sitting Bull's life. It begins when he was young and moves through his life into adulthood.
Non-Fiction Strategy Application:
Since this pair is for older students, I would use reciprocal teaching with them. It gives them a chance to interact with the text in multiple ways, while also learning from it. Students will gain more knowledge and comprehension by practicing predicting, summarizing, questioning, and clarifying as they read. I would have students do this with a partner or as a whole group, depending on how many times we had practiced it and how confident they are in their skills in those 4 areas. I think this is a very useful strategy to know going into middle and high school, so if I can teach it to my 4-6 graders, they will have an advantage with reading comprehension in the secondary grades.

Even though it's a kid's book, it still tears me up how the wasi'chu "the ones who take the fat" or "greedy people" forced native peoples out of their lands by breaking treaties, massacring the buffalo, building railroads through their lands, starving them, threatening them with further starvation and violence, pitting them against each other, massacring them, forcing them onto reservations and finally assassinating one of their greatest leaders on groundless rumors of an uprising (which considering the above, natives had every justification to do so). Absolutely, sickening, but what's arguably worse is that these wasi'chu still abuse the natives, pollute the land, and terrorize those who are not wasi'chu through their police force. Sitting Bull was a great and generous hero who only wanted to defend his people, and he was killed for it. A pattern we see throughout American history.

Who Was Sitting Bull? By Stephanie Spinner and illustrated by Jim Eldridge is a biography of Sitting Bull a famous Chief of the Lakota Sioux American Indians who led the Sioux Nation against the United States during The Great Sioux War of 1876. The few ink illustrations throughout the chapters depict aspects of Indian life at the time, maps, and diagrams. This biography part of the Who Was…? Series is excellent for middle grade students with lots of valuable information about Sitting Bull but also the lives of American Indians before and after the civil war.
July 27, 2017
Again, it is about a 100 page biography written for children. It is great to read the story of his life to get a quick perspective. It fueled my curiosity to learn more about Sitting Bull and other Native Americans who resisted the U.S. Government.

The Story of Sitting Bull is why My Mother & I Always side with the Native Americans when we watch Wild West Movies.

"Who Was Sitting Bull" ISNB number 9780698187306 by Stephanie Spinner was about a boy named Jumping Badger , who was later known as Sitting Bull, who was a holy man who later became a tribal chief of the Lakota Sioux tribe in time of chaos involving the United States. As the government tried multiple times to seize Native American lands, Sitting Bull relied on his fellow Indians and tough spirituality to chase the settler and the government out of their territory to ensure future homeland for his fellow people.
For a non-fiction genre this book has amazing illustration. The pictures are clearly demonstrating what the text is communicating to the readers. I just think if the author Stephanie Spinner would have used a little bit of color it would have been more beneficial and made the illustration stand out more. The plot has many different action point/climax's. Like all the wars Sitting Bull was a part of including the ones with the United States military. The plot throughout the whole story fascinates the reader because you don't know what is going to happen to Sitting Bull. However, it get's even more fascinating when the United States goes to "lock up" Sitting Bull. So with his nonfiction autobiography you get different theme's at different times. Themes such as death, good vs. evil, chaos and order, displacement, and I would even go as far as saying evils of racism. A few themes that are predominant through the whole book are good vs. evil, death, and chaos . Sitting Bull was a protagonist while the United States Military/government was the antagonist. I couldn't even find any awards being won on this book however, I think it deserves one. Finally, my last comment is I do think kids would love this book especially if they are into to history because I surely loved this book.

I just lost the review I spent 45 minutes on... urrghhh
I got even more angry by reading this book, which reminded me how white people took advantage of American Indians OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
Since I'm discussing anger, I am upset because I used to work for American Indian Student Services for the Multicultural Center at The Ohio State University. My friend Joseph gave me a book called "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse" by Peter Matthiessen, but I STILL haven't read it. [LORD, help me to read it SOON!] I was reminded when reading this book on Sitting Bull and how him and Crazy Horse teamed up at some point.
Anyways...
Sitting Bull was an independent thinker who stood up for his people--including the unfortunate--until the very end.
The Sioux had a favorite quote, "It is better to die on the battlefield than to grow old." (14)
They chose to LIVE and fight for what they believed in.
I also came across how Sitting Bull "...could understand the language of birds and animals. People with this gift were called "wichasha wakan." Their dreams and visions were said to predict the future. [Sitting Bull had a dream of how a woodpecker warned him of a grizzly bear about to kill him. When he woke up, he was IMMEDIATELY put into that situation, which helped save his life.] (26)
Towards the end of the book, it brought up how the government had cheated them again. Then hope came--a new religion called the Ghost Dance... Dancers prayed and had visions, wearing 'ghost shirts' that supposedly protected them from bullets. Hearing this, whites feared that the Indians were really doing a war dance and planning to rebel. [which they WEREN'T] (94-95)

Learn about one of the strongest activists in Native American Culture, Sitting Bull!
Truly an eye-opener for kids who may have only Disney's Pocahontas or some other "Kid-friendly" Native American persona to look at in relation.
What I love about the "Who was" series is that it continually inspires the readers to think and to make their own judgements based off the person's decisions, lives, cultures, beliefs, and use their own thinking to read between the lines, while only stating the facts, but doing so in a way that doesn't just show his as a Native American or Indigenous person, but who brings personal anecdotes and moments to life, including his childhood, his family, quotes, and Sitting Bull's strong determination to better the lives of his people and others.
The other thing I appreciate about the Who Was series, is that, unlike a lot of juvenile biographies, it doesn't sugar coat the harsh realities of history or force the reader to THINK a certain way. I know that for me at least, history books when I was growing up, would have painted a very different portrait of Sitting Bull.
Very nice biography!

The book "Who Was Sitting Bull?" by Stephanie Spinner is a very great biography about Sitting Bull. Sitting Bull was a very kind man, and he rose to power very quickly because of that. He was also very respectful, even when he was a little boy. In the beginning of the book, it states some of the things that he did to be kind and respectful. He was a terrific fighter too. Overall, this was a great book.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It had lots of detail, good sentence fluency, etc. It was packed with information, yet it was easy to read and comprehend. I wouldn't do anything to change it.
I would recommend this book to middle scholars and below. It was easy to read, but it was a little bit violent.

Book Level: 5.5
Who Was Sitting Bull? is about the life of Sitting Bull, the leader of the Lakota Sioux tribe. This book is a biography, as it's written by Stephanie Spinner about the life of another person.
This book would be a solid mentor text to show students a good example of presentation and organization. The story takes the reader throughout the life of Sitting Bull in the order of events. This shows students the importance of building background knowledge on a person to get to know their whole story. The book would also show students how to embed pictures into their non-fiction writing to help the reader gain more context of what they are writing about.
This would be a good book to use during a Native American unit when studying the life and times of those who lived it.

The book, "Who was Sitting Bull." is a very good book because of all the interesting events occurring in his life. I recommend this book for 6th-8th grade. Sitting Bull was very silent he would think a lot before he would do a certain thing. For example when he was asked a question he would think about very carefully before answering. That's why his family nick named him, "Slow." When Slow hunted his first buffalo he gave it to the hungry families of the tribe. This kind act made his father very proud. Slow's tribe were getting ready to battle he thought carefully and thoughtfully about his decision and covered his body in yellow paint and his horse in red paint. Slow was going to fight with his tribe. "It is better to die on the battle field than grow old."

Who Was Sitting Bull? by Stephanie Spinner tells us of the life of one of the best known American Indians. As is common among Indian tribes, Sitting Bull started out being known as Jumping Badger and as he grew, went through other name changes until he ultimately became a great leader known as Sitting Bull of the Lakota Sioux. As representatives of the US government made and then broke treaty after treaty with the various tribes taking more and more of their lands for prospectors and settlers, Sitting Bull and other chiefs fought a valiant but losing battle. It is not part of America’s history that we can be proud of. Sad but true and something everyone should be familiar with.

Americans don’t know enough about Native Americans. This book does a decent job of explaining the perspective of indigenous people and also highlights the broken promises of the US government towards the natives. The 19th Century was a period of huge growth and development of our nation. The closing of the western frontier spelled disaster for the people who lived here first. The events of Sitting Bull’s life are an American tragedy, yet the author highlights his bravery and sense of community with his people. I’m glad I read the book before reading it to my 9 year old son, but I’m sure he will enjoy it, and ask many questions.

This book is about Sitting Bull who was a Native American Chief. He was a part of the Hunkpapa Sioux tribe. It goes into his life, bravery that he had, and how he would do anything to keep his land from the settlers. How Sitting Bull died was not what I thought would happen. I would use this book when studying about Native Americans, or when talking about timelines. In the back of the book there is a timeline of Sitting Bulls life, and what was happening in the world. This would be good to compare, and to see if there is anything else happening in the world during this time to add to the world timeline.

This series continues to impress me with its straightforward narration style, attention to details and unintimidating presentation of information. However, Who Was Sitting Bull is, I believe, one of my favorites. I knew almost nothing about Sitting Bull going into this read, but I was fascinated by the story that moved along quickly and with great deliberateness. While focused primarily on Sitting Bull, a great deal of information about the Native Americans during the westward expansion was presented in understandable terms.

106 pages. Very well-written biography of a famous Native American. There is additional information on the Great Sioux Nation, One Person/Many Names, Coup Sticks/Eagle Feathers/Scalps and War Paint, Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, Ghost Dance, as well as many sketches and maps to help a reader understand the context of the times. I learned a lot. I think it would be a great book for a report or recreational reading on a famous person. Highly recommended for Grades 4-6. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. It has taken a while but it was worth it.
July 28, 2020
I thought this was a very good introduction to the great Sioux Chief and also offered insight into the other famous chiefs (Crazy Horse), US generals (Custer) and events that shaped the destruction of the Native American's homes in the late 1800s. We will be visiting South Dakota and these sacred lands this summer, so I am happy that my kids will be arriving with an understanding of the history and loss of land this native nation experienced.
February 16, 2021
I had never heard of “Jumping Badger” but when his name was changed to Sitting Bull, my childhood history classes or maybe it was TV shows kicked in and this great name associated to Custard's Last Stand made sense.
I found this biography truly sad as this great leader of the Hunkpapa, one of the seven Lakota Sioux tribes and his people were ripped from their land and mistreated by the wasichu (the white settlers and the soldiers of our government).

A solid introduction to Sitting Bull. Maybe somewhat less detailed than other books in this series, and the ending was a bit abrupt. I read this with my kids, and we were discussing Native American history through the book, but at the end this book deals with Sitting Bull's murder rather quickly on the final two pages, and just "ends." A bit more context to the fallout and national reaction would have been helpful.

I have a new kind of respect for the Native Americans. These poor people ran out of their land because of the government allowing the white men to take over their home. The American people who were in charge and who support this treatment should be ashamed of themselves
And serves Custer right
Don’t underestimate Sitting Bull

This book didn’t sugar coat the truth. At the opening ceremony for the North Pacific Railroad, Sitting Bull said,
“I hate all the white people. You are thieves and liars. You have taken away our land and made us outcasts.” The interpreter didn’t translate that, and instead spoke some nice friendly words.

Having read other books about the Sioux and mainly the Lakota, I was impressed with this book. It is researched and will give students an understanding of what the tribes faced and the hardships they endured. While it provides many details it is written in a manner that middle school students will understand.
September 9, 2021
Quick read for those interested in learning more about Native American chiefs. Perfect to use alongside lessons on Chief Joseph. I’m using this as a project with my enrichment learners during Wit and Wisdom’s 5th Grade Module 1 Cultures in Conflict.

Great short bio.
December 3, 2018
This wasn’t one of my favorites in the series. It read a bit dry and didn’t give as much context as other books.
August 11, 2019
Another great biography for children. I read it to my grandkids and they want the entire series. It’s well written and we all learned a lot. Highly recommend it!
