The Sioux leader Sitting Bull was killed near this site in the settlement of Little Eagle, about 40 miles away, in 1890 by American Indian police. His body, originally buried in the military cemetery at Fort Yates in North Dakota, was moved to this site on a bluff opposite the town of Mobridge in 1953. The gravesite is marked by a granite bust of Sitting Bull, sculpted by Korczak Ziolkkowski. About 100 yards from the burial site is a marker commemorating Sacajawea, the Shoshone woman who guided Lewis and Clark on their 1805 journey to the Pacific. Admission is free.
