Sitting Bull was a great spiritual visionary, he saw and drew pictures of the Battle of little big horn before they took place. He was a careful man regarding his people who he loved. Some wonder what the significance of the monarch butterfly was on his hat? The butterfly represents transformation and joy, as well as dancing. It is thought that sitting Bull's butterfly was part of "His Medicine" and his spirit guide. I Know one thing, all of Great Spirit's creatures mean and meant a lot to the Native American way of life. The above picture was colorized some time ago by myself. I have always been inspired by the life of sitting Bull, may he live forever in our Hearts.

He also was being photographed and wanted the outside world to understand that; like that monarch - he and his people had spirits that were unbound by being sentenced to Reservations - their spirits were as free as that to be migrating, over fences and borders and man-made, governmentally imposed restrictions.
