We are discussing two of the greatest leaders in Native American history – Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Both members of the Sioux Nation, they led the native forces at the Battle of Little Big Horn where General Custer famously met his end. Our guest is Mark Lee Gardner, the author of a new book called The Earth is all that Lasts: Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and the Last Stand of the Great Sioux Nation. It’s a biography of the two chiefs, and also looks at the decline of the Sioux Nation.
