Who the hell do you think he was fighting Laz? Since the article seems to state he was fighting on the side of the U.S. Army.

For your information many Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people that live in southern Saskatchewan have signed up to fight on the side of the U.S. These are direct descendants of Sitting Bull and your pompous little homily does them a big dishonor.

"Public outrage at this military catastrophe brought thousands more cavalrymen to the area, and over the next year they relentlessly pursued the Lakota, who had split up after the Custer fight, forcing chief after chief to surrender. But Sitting Bull remained defiant. In May 1877 he led his band across the border into Canada, beyond the reach of the U.S. Army, and when General Terry traveled north to offer him a pardon in exchange for settling on a reservation, Sitting Bull angrily sent him away."
