b'As some Lakota make an annual pilgrimage on horseback to Wounded Knee in memory of Sitting Bull\\u2019s death, we\\u2019ll pull out some of the lesser known threads of the legacy of this complex leader and American icon. And we\\u2019ll explore why his spiritual character has animated his own people in the last three decades more openly than at any time since his death in 1890. Krista Tippett interviewed Ernie LaPointe, great-grandson of Sitting Bull, on October 20, 2009. This interview is included in the show \\u201cTatanka Iyotake: Reimagining Sitting Bull.\\u201d See more at http onbeing.org/program/reimagining-sitting-bull-tatanka-iyotake/152'
