On page 26 of the book, "Sitting Bull: His Life and Legacy" by Ernie Lapointe, (Great-grandson of Sitting Bull), the specific Lakota translation is given for the name of Sitting Bull, Tatanka Iyotake, as meaning "Buffalo Bull Sits Down." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:A9AB:E500:5C9E:AAD2:FC2A:4D02 (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
At the beginning of this article, Sitting Bull's name in Lakota is spelled out in IPA as [tˣaˈtˣə̃ka ˈi.jɔtakɛ]. I cannot find any explanation of what the little superscript x's mean. Undefined Symbols are the Great Barrier of Learning. Friendly Person (talk) 17:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
If you read Crow Foot's Wikipedia article, it says, though without any source or evidence, "Crow Foot was killed along with his father on December 15, 1890, by a group of Indian agents". After googling for a bit, I found an excerpt from a book called "Voices of Wounded Knee" by William S. E. Coleman, which states on page 211 that Crow Foot was purposely murdered, even though he was unarmed and didn't do anything (according to eyewitness accounts). I feel like that is pretty important and should be mentioned in the "Death and burial" section, instead of just having it say "The police killed Sitting Bull and seven of his supporters at the site [...]".

My I suggest deleting the "out" after "exited" in the last sentence on the section on Sitting Bull's early life? It is redundant and looks sloppy. 85.197.14.112 (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Divide the "Battle of the Little Bighorn" into more sections and cut down for clarity.
The Battle of the Little Bighorn section details much of the leadup to the battle, which is part of the Great Sioux War (e.g. Sun Dance and the January 1 ultimatum, which occurred six months before the battle). It also includes information that occurs well after the battle (e.g. Sitting Bull in Canada).

I am surprised that Weldon's portrait isn't shown here, the only portrait made of Sitting Bull and right before his death.

In the second paragraph (which begins with "Before the Battle..."), the first sentence ends with citation [8]. After that citation, there are no additional citations in the remainder of that paragraph, and there are no citations in the next paragraph. Should there be more citations?
