History’s “Sitting Bull” continues its exploration of the iconic Lakota chief’s life this Wednesday with the episode “Never Give In.” This week, the series focuses on one of the most famous battles in American history: the clash at Little Bighorn. Viewers will witness the events leading up to the confrontation between Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and George Armstrong Custer’s Seventh Cavalry. It’s a pivotal moment in Native American history, a victory against overwhelming odds, but as the episode makes clear, the war is far from over.
“Never Give In” goes beyond the battle itself, examining the aftermath and the ongoing struggle to preserve the Lakota way of life. Despite their triumph at Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull and his people face a formidable challenge: protecting their land, their culture, and their very existence against the relentless encroachment of the United States government. Through expert interviews and dramatic recreations, “Sitting Bull” brings this critical chapter of history to life, adding a layer of depth and understanding to a story often oversimplified in textbooks.
“Sitting Bull: Never Give In” airs Wednesday, May 28th at 9:00 PM ET on History.
