Sitting Bull Monument
Sitting Bull Monument, Native American monument in Standing Rock Indian Reservation, South Dakota, US.
The monument features a stone sculpture of Chief Sitting Bull created by artist Korczak Ziolkowski, positioned on a hill overlooking the Missouri River.
Constructed in 1953 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, this monument marks the burial site of the Hunkpapa Lakota leader.
The monument represents the resistance of Native American communities against territorial expansion and symbolizes the preservation of Indigenous sovereignty and traditions.
