Answer:
1. When Sitting Bull was born, his parents didn't name him right away, they waited to choose a name that fitted his personality. In the first few months, they saw nothing amazing about him. What they did notice was that the little boy cannot be hurried. When his mother handed him a juicy piece of food from the fire, he did not stuff his mouth the way other babys did, instead he studied it for a long time before he finally decided it was safe to eat. His parents finally agreed on a name. He would be called Hunkesni - a Sioux word that meant "slow". So his name was Slow, he was born in what is now called South Dakota in 1830 or 1831.

3. In 1844 Slow counts coup in battle and earns the name Sitting Bull, and his father then changes his name to Jumping Bull.
4. In 1845 Sitting Bull has his first Sun Dance. A Sun Dance is the Sioux's most important religious ceremony in all of life. It was a ritual that showed the tribe's belief in power through self sacrifice. The Sioux believed that Wakan Tanka controlled everything. The Sun Dance probably went something like this:
A large dance circle was set up in the center of the Sioux camp. The tribes people found a special forked cottonwood tree in the woods. In an elaborate ceremony, they chopped down the tree and turned it into a pole, which they painted red, blue, green, and yellow. Then they set it up in the center of the dance circle, and attached rawhide ropes to it. There, using a stone knife, they cut two slits in the skin just below one shoulder blade. A skewer was inserted through the slits so that it was fastened to his back by the strip of skin.
