What I am trying to say here is that children, or having children, even great-grandchildren, seeps into our very being, which is why for us a Lego sculpture of Sitting Bull avoids trivialisation. There is even a 36-foot-tall sculpture of Sitting Bull at Legoland in Denmark where children inoffensively enjoy the fact Sitting Bull was also known as Jumping Badger as a child, and that sixteen years ago his great-grandson was also born Jumping Badger. Europeans over here are waking up more and more to Native American history. I was reading last week how the legendary Hunkpaka Lakota leader Sitting Bull declared himself the last man of the Lakota tribes to surrender his rifle, and how he was later killed by Indian agency police trying to arrest him.
