Sitting Bull was a leader among his people, the Lakota. He loved them. He sacrificed for them. And he was eventually killed by them. Many historians have written many things about this great leader, but no one knew him better than his family. Ernie LaPointe is Sitting Bull's only living lineal great-grandson.

In the two-part series, Ernie LaPointe reveals the oral history passed down to him from his mother. In Part One: The Making of a Leader, Ernie tells how his great-grandfather came to become leader of the Lakota.
