Lost Capital - A People Robbed of All They Had (and Spin)


           In 1883, Sitting Bull was a guest of honor at the opening ceremonies for the Northern Pacific Railroad.  When it was his turn to speak, he said in the Lakota language, "I hate all White People.  You are thieves and liars.  You have taken away our land and made us outcasts."   A quick-thinking interpreter told the crowd the Chief was happy to be there and that he looked forward to peace and prosperity with the White People.

           Sitting Bull received a standing ovation.
