Apache boys had to learn all of the many skills necessary for participation in their band’s gathering, hunting, and raiding parties. They usually began war training around the age of 10. Over the course of their pre-teen and early teenage years, Apache boys were taught the qualities and skills of a wise and honorable Apache father, husband, and warrior.

This photograph shows the famous Sioux medicine man Sitting Bull with his family in front of their home. Sitting Bull was an influential Sioux leader during the 19th century. He opposed the invasion of white settlers into tribal lands, especially the Black Hills of South Dakota, which the Sioux considered a sacred place. Sitting Bull took part in many battles, including the battle of the Little Bighorn where the Sioux and Cheyenne won a great victory over the U.S. 7th Cavalry. After the Sioux were forced to stop fighting and move to a reservation, Sitting Bull traveled throughout the country, asking the government to respect the rights of his people. He was killed in December 1890.
