<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9840388, member: 10944"]Great images! There were a lot of traveling Wild West type shows that toured nationally and even internationally. Buffalo Bills being the most famous. After the Indian Wars / Battle at Little Big Horn it was a somewhat attractive option for a Native American. Your dignity was probably impacted. It might be better than wasting away on a reservation though. Sitting Bull was one of the last great War chiefs, staunchly opposed to giving in to the white man. After he had no choice and was put on a reservation he chose to be a clown in the white mans cities rather than just sit on a reservation and do nothing. At least he got to roam and sit on his horse in the Wild West shows was the thinking I guess. Sad way for a proud brave to wind up but but it could get worse. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone is familiar with ‘The Rest is History” podcast they just did a big seven part series on Custer & Sitting Bull.
