There is a new DVD out today called "The Authorized Biography of Sitting Bull By His Great Grandson Part One". It is the first of a two part series. Ernie LaPointe tells his family's oral history as he heard it from his mother Angeline Spotted Horse, one of the daughters of Sitting Bull's youngest child, Standing Holy. Part One is sub-titled "The Making of a Leader" and historically ends just before Custer's Black Hills invasion. Copies are available at: www.reelcontact.comCopies will also be available by July 30, 2007 at Prairie Edge Trading and the Deadwood Gift Shop. I'm sure that list will grow rather rapidly, but for those interested right off the bat those are the places!
