A fierce warrior, loving father, and holy man, the story of Sitting Bull provides a new perspective on the United States as the nation rapidly evolved around the legendary figure. The production has committed itself to ensuring Lakota community involvement. Larry Pourier, an Oglala Lakota consultant with over 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry advising on Native American TV and film projects and IllumiNative, a Native woman-led non-profit organization focused on increasing Native representation in media in front of and behind the camera, will serve as consultants and advisors on "Sitting Bull." Both Pourier and IllumiNative will work in partnership to ensure Lakota involvement in all aspects of the production, including cultural advisors, writers, producers, and actors. Told with expert interviews, premium reenactments, and rich archival material, "Sitting Bull'' will detail seminal moments and key figures in Native American history including the Battle of Little Big Horn, Washita Massacre, Crazy Horse, Battle of Cedar Creek and the Wounded Knee Massacre.
