Native American Portraits Blog

Sitting Bull was the leader of his tribe. He led them up to Canada but they died of disease. The authorities made sure he didn't leave. He was arrested in his own home and shot outside of it.

This was where 146 Lakota people died and where 250 were killed altogether. Soldiers would shoot until they have killed every moving person. Bodies were found 3 miles away from the actual shooting.

Big Foot struggled getting out of his blanket and was shot in the head and died instantly. He brought his people to the south looking for others.

This was where 146 Lakota people were buried. They were found 5 days after the massacre. The burial people got $2 per body they buried.

Native American Name Blog Post


Zonta (Trusted) Chenoa (Dove)



The name I have chosen is Zonta Chenoa because it means Trusted Dove. I came up with the name Zonta because I can be trusted with a lot of my friends and I also believe that I can be trusted among myself. Then I picked Chenoa because dove means a person who advocates peaceful or conciliatory policies. And I think that I try to bring peace to people, or well at least I try my hardest. The two names put together would mean Trusted Dove and I believe that the name Zonta Chenoa fits me, in a way that I think fits my personality.
