Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson Page #4

---

from plain, raw talent

to personages of importance.

Tell your chief

we can do that for him, too.

And after on season in this show

he'll never be mistaken

for a below average

run of the mill Indian chief.

Plus he'll have something

to fall back on in his later years.

Long trip, huh, Chief?

I just wanted to welcome you here

to Buffalo Bill's Wild West.

You'll find it ain't

all that different from real life.

Gentlemen, Injuns...

Why didn't you tell me

which one he was?

How big is he off the horse?

Don't worry.

He's big enough to fill the arena.

So Sitting Bull's the little fellow.

He doesn't look so savage.

I'll sleep with a shotgun anyway.

Sitting Bull's famous

for scalping folks in their beds.

I hope Bill can handle him.

I don't think it disappropriate

to play a personal chord here.

We all know

sociable chaff is cheap

but history...

...real history...

is hard come.

The man I'm about to celebrate is not

a mere personation of a patriot

but the true monarch of genuity.

Scout, show man

family person, valued partner...

America's National Entertainer

William Frederick..."Bill"...

Sitting Bull won't live

with the other Indians.

What was that? Sitting Bull doesn't

seem to like his recommodations.

What's wrong?

He didn't say why.

He wants to live across the river.

He wants to live across the river!

If you're smart you'll lock them

dog eaters in the stockade.

Nobody can cross that river.

Impossible. We've already lost

3 horses, 6 Blackfeet

and a bargeload of show

equipment, worth $ 16000.

Impossible to cross, huh?

That's exactly where I want him

on that flat ridge there.

That way I can watch him

all the time from my chair.

The difference between

a white man and an Injun

in a situation like this

is us whites are smart enough

to know an Injun

always turns down your first offer.

Laugh it up, boys.

Uncle Will

how did Sitting Bull cross the river?

Shall we call for help?

We are the help.

Shouldn't we holler for help?

I'll handle this. Bill, Sitting Bull's

coming here with his whole group.

Our unpredictable friends seem to be

on the warpath. I see them.

They crossed the river again

and they ain't even wet.

They did, huh?

We're with you, Bill.

Sonia, finish that later.

Well, Chief...

A twilight raid, huh?

What's on your mind?

Sitting Bull is here

by the will of the Great Spirits.

By their will he is chief.

His heart is red, sweet, for whatever

passes licks him with his tongue.

The bears taste the honey

and the leaves lick the sky.

The Great Spirits have chosen

Sitting Bull as leader of their land.

tell Sitting Bull

that Buffalo Bill says

his leaves can turn how he wants, so
