Led the sioux in war after the federal government allowed miners on sioux reservation

There were several Native American chiefs in the Great Sioux War of 1876. Sitting Bull and Crazy horse were the two most famous of them. Crazy Horse was a Lakota Chief of the Oglala Tribe who fought several battles against the US army. His most famous war feat was serving as a decoy that lured General Custer into an ambush that ended with a victory for Native Americans. He was killed by a military guard while imprisoned in Nebraska for allegedly resisting incarceration in 1877.

Sitting Bull was a Lakota Chief of the Hunkpapa tribe who fought against the federal army for years before joining other chiefs, including Crazy Horse and inflicting a sever victory over American army men under the command of General Custer in Little Big horn.  He was on the run until 1881 when he surrendered to US forces. After a period of incarceration he met Annie Oakley and joined Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show. At the time of this death he intended to join the Ghost Dance movement and was the subject of an arrest attempt that went wrong and ended up in his death by the gun of a US Indian agent in his reservation in North Dakota on December of 1890.  

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
