Sitting Bull
I dont know much about my family history, but what i do know i find very facinating. Since i was a little girl my dad always told me that i was an indian princess. I didnt actually believe him until i was about ten years old. then i found out that im not an indian princess, but my aunt is and that the famous indian sitting bull is in fact my great-great grandfather. so now i am just trying to learn more about sitting bull and my distant family that ive never met before.
You are so wierd
