The second and final installment in Reel Contact's Sitting Bull DVDs has just come out. This is the blurb from their website:
"This is the final installment of the two part series "The Authorized Biography of Sitting Bull by His Great Grandson". In "Part Two: Thank You Grandfather, We Still Live", Ernie LaPointe, the only living lineal great grandson of Sitting Bull, recounts how his Great Grandfather sacrificed and ultimately died for his people and their way of life. Ernie also reveals the truth behind his grandfather's murder and the struggle of his family to reclaim their true history. The repatriation ceremony at the Smithsonian Institute of Sitting Bull's leggins and hair to Ernie and his sisters is also included. The leggins were the same ones worn by Sitting Bull the day he was murdered. They were taken off his body by the undertaker in December of 1890 and donated to the Smithsonian."
I've found all of their DVDs to have something of interest in them, although (naturally) some are better than others.
