John Sitting Bull (c. 1867 – June 10, 1955) was a Native American farmer, circus performer, and actor. Best known as the stepson of the Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull, he lived a life that bridged traditional Lakota culture, the harsh realities of U.S. expansion, and the spectacle of Wild West entertainment.
