the earth in a special place, and the sun and stars moved around it. There
were only a few men who thought that the earth and the planets moved around
the sun. It was dangerous to think this way, since this idea went against
the teachings of the Church. Talking about this idea could be punished by

ground around him. He then rose and walked back to his people, unharmed.
Sitting Bull - the great Lakota chief, warrior, and holy man is commonly
remembered for leading his people during the Battle of Little Bighorn. His
is a story of both extraordinary achievement and unthinkable hardship. He
valiantly defended his way of life, but was shamefully and brutally bullied
by America’s government. Respected among Indians as no other chief
in history, he was inhumanely despised by whites as an evil, violent savage.
More than a biography, this book is a history of Plains Indian tribes during
Sitting Bull’s time. Through meticulous research, Albert Marrin recreates
the great chief’s world, shattering many myths in the process. Narrator
Ed Sala vividly reconstructs the events surrounding this legendary man.")
