Both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were fearless Native American warriors. Crazy Horse often displayed a hostile uncompromising attitude towards whites. Crazy Horse was born in South Dakota and was a member of the Oglala Sioux nation. His tribesmen named him war chief around 1858. Crazy Horse was known for using decoy tactics to confuse his enemies. His very fearless attitude was shown when he lured in and killed 80 soldiers under Captain William J. Fetterman. In 1873 he joined a party of calvary led by Custer, who became his future nemesis. A little later, he rode north to join a group of Sioux and Cheyenne under Sitting Bull. On June 25th, Crazy Horse's camp was attacked by Custer and his men. After about 20 minutes of fighting, Custer, as well as his 226 men, were annihilated. After Custer's defeat, the U.S. Army went to greater efforts to crush the Native Americans. To this day, Crazy Horse remains a symbol of human resistance to tyranny. A sculpture was commemorated to Crazy Horse, located in the Black Hills, the place that Crazy Horse gave his life to defend.

Sitting Bull was known as an implacable enemy of white aggression. He refused to abandon his people, even when it was apparent that white forces would prevail. He was born around 1832 on the Grand River in South Dakota. He was born into the Hunkpapa Sioux nation. He was known among his tribe for his physical abilities. Around 1856, Sitting Bull became head of an elite warriors society, the Strong Heart's lodge, because of his skill in battle. Around this time, white expansion had reached the Hunkpapa hunting grounds, angering many. Being his generous self, Sitting Bull treated his enemies cordially, and made it clear that he wanted to preserve the traditional Sioux hunting ground, as well as his way of life. In 1866, Sitting Bull became an important war chief, among him was Crazy Horse. He accepted the Treaty of Fort Laramie, which was used to remove white influence and reserved the Black Hills region of South Dakota. Sitting Bull was removed from his reservation on December 15th, 1890, because the authorities feared an uprising among the tribe. Upon leaving, Sitting Bull, as well as his teenage son and five other Sioux members were shot dead. This was one of other reasons that the Sioux resistance came to its final conclusion.
