Short Bull
Sioux, Brule

"Tananka Ptecela," Brule Sioux Medicine Man (1845-1915)
Short Bull, along with Kicking Bear, was the principal
leader of the Ghost Dance religion among the Sioux at
Pine Ridge and Standing Rock Agencies. The white man
misinterpreted the pacifism of the new faith--the result
was the death of Sitting Bull and the infamous massacre
at Wounded Knee (December 29, 1890).
