“In response to intensifying outside pressures on the Lakota to give up large areas of land and be confined to a reservation the Hunkpapa, and the other northern Lakota bands, as well as a loose alliance of Oglala under Crazy Horse, attempted to consolidate leadership.
So in 1866 or 1867 Sitting Bull was recognized as an important military and political leader of these bands. In some accounts he is labels as a “supreme chief”. Therefore, when negotiations were held with these bands, the United States increasingly dealt with Sitting Bull.
In these negotiations Sitting Bull stated his determination to protect his people’s homeland and their life ways, and he adamantly refused to sign any treaty or conceded any territory.” – Sitting Bull College
