Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Throughout their life, Native Americans change names. What was Sitting Bull's first name?

Answer: Jumping Badger

Sitting Bull's parents did not choose this name for any particular reason as they knew he would get a name that fitted him better.
2. Sitting Bull's second name was Slow. Why?

Answer: Because he studied his food for a long period before eating it

Most children would not waste a second to look at the food; they just eat it. So when Sitting Bull studied the venison, his father and his uncle thought he did not like venison. But when they waited and finally saw him eat it, they thought - like everyone else - that the name Slow suited him.
3. Sitting Bull's father was a chief at the time of his birth.

Answer: Yes, he was chief

His father was had great confidence in his son but never knew he would some day carry his name.
