What was said below is true but also because there was no way of actually treating the disease and stupid cures were invented for it which of course didn't work.

That's several millions of people. However it didn't only have a devastating effect on Europe, it had it everywhere. While typically we focus on plague in England and Europe it is important to realise that it came from the Middle East or even further away in India and that it had devastating effects there too.

Answer:

Sitting Bull (c. 1831-1890) was a Teton Dakota Native American chief who united the Sioux tribes of the American Great Plains against the white settlers taking their tribal land. The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty granted the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota to the Sioux, but when gold was discovered there in 1874, the U.S. government ignored the treaty and began to remove native tribes from their land by force.

The ensuing Great Sioux Wars culminated in the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, when Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse led united tribes to victory against General George Armstrong Custer. Sitting Bull was shot and killed by Indian police officers on Standing RocPlz k Indian Reservation in 1890, but is remembered for his courage in defending native lands.
