Sitting Bull: The Man, the Myth, the Continuing Controversy
Clay Jenkinson and Larry Skogen will discuss the life of Sitting Bull, based on Robert Utley's book The Lance and the Shield. During their conversation, the scholars will explore Sitting Bull's place in American mythology and history, trying to make sense of the way in which some Indians became white favorites in spite of their - or perhaps because of – their resistance.
