A Sioux headdress from the late 19th Century - Is it Sitting Bull's?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มี.ค. 2011
- Through inspection of form, materials and markings, curator Arnie Brownstone has identified this artifact as a Sioux headdress from the late 19th Century. That makes it rare and valuable. It may be rarer still. Arnie has reason to believe it once belonged to the great chief Sitting Bull. But he doesn't know for sure. Museum artifacts that lack clear provenance are given ID numbers prefixed with the letter X. The headdress is such an "X File." Curator Brownstone has tried every scientific method at his disposal but cannot prove if it was owned by Sitting Bull or not. Where can one turn when rational avenues are exhausted?
Museum Secrets decided to consult someone with a personal connection to Sitting Bull: his great-grandson Ernie La Pointe. Ernie believes he can discover the answer by consulting the realm of the spirits. Can he really tell us if the headdress belonged to Sitting Bull?

I stood in front of this magnificent artefact at the ROM. It felt like such an honour to be close to such a piece.
I agree, not many people in thier lifetime will see it. You and others that see it (in person) are privileged God Speed.
What a beautiful headdress and Chief Sitting Bull wore it proudly ❤️ His great grandson must be mesmerized at it's presence ✌️ How awesome.
Some people think natives are just crazy, but when you’re really close to the great spirit and do what you must to feel it, it’s real. A long process but I believe it can still be done today
signoguns you and I are not alike and never will be. We both hold different values and beliefs.
signoguns no really?
signoguns lmao
signoguns Growing up on a reservation my whole life, being 19 and spending a good amount of time with my olders, i can confidently tell you i’ve seen some crazy stuff. You’re not supposed to talk about stuff like this, but i have seen my grandpa split a thunder storm with a canupa (pipe) to prevent it from going over the sundance. My lala Pete Catches. I’ve also heard stories from my grandparents of people who could go into the ground and come out somewhere else. My ancestors were able to run with horses and jump on them. When you say our belief isn’t real and that it’s mythical, you haven’t seen or been around us at all so how would you know? Yeah we struggle now, but there was a time where we were so in touch with the great spirit, we were able to understand everything around us. Not so much communicate, but we knew what we could and couldn’t do. We never went against the forces of nature, only went with them.
Steven Innocianti lmao, colonization is a hell of a mindset
The family should have this not a museum
Then someone would steal it and it would be lost forever.
@@michaelrosspearson9756 that's not how the tribe works
@Steven Innocianti not funny didn’t laugh at all
@Steven Innocianti don't make fun of IT. because there is more between heaven and earth that we all don't understand. but one thing I understand and that is this feeling. Sitting bull was one of the wisest chiefs. and that someone makes fun of it just because he doesn't have the seventh sense. I think that's so inappropriate. you have to understand the big picture to understand her and I once had the honor of meeting a Lakota. and they are the friendliest people I have ever met
I have set up at pow wows and fur and leather shows all across the west and the Lakota are hardly the friendliest people on earth. Quite the opposite. Drive up to pine ridge reservation, they will rob you and steel everything you have. Facts go see let me know how you do, if you make it out alive
Wow. He looks just like him! Majestic and dignified.
And they aren’t really related….there’s that
Its absolutely beautiful. You can feel the energy and love from this.
This headdress is a beautiful artefact. IF it is Sitting Bulls personal headdress then it is Priceless and irreplaceable. It needs to be in a museum where it can be looked after under controlled conditions.
Either way it is a beautiful piece of history.
It's being carefully protected and curated at the museum.
No it’s need to be with the family not meuseum
@@Cuttahmup
It’s better in the museum
That would be so cool to see a piece of history like that and talk to Ernie La Pointe.
That was an incorrect description he is his CLOSEST living descendent not the last. Ernie Lapointe has kids and grandkids
Prime Ethic I am one of them
@@isaacgrainger5432 there we go! Bless up
Ong kuz uncle Ernie is my great gmas brother
And lots of other relatives, too, I believe. I saw him in another video just yesterday and I believe he said that he was the closest DIRECT descendant, but there were lots of others.. unless he was talking about his children and grandchildren and maybe even great-grands..
Thats good. Sitting Bulls genes live on
Museum guy isn't convinced of the magic feeling lol
These priceless pieces from our American Indian bloodline, culture BELONG in our Indian museums. I can't imagine the Heartache the American Indian deal with ...concerning ALL artifacts taken, stolen @ re-sold at these millionaire Auction houses all over the planet. Makes me sick
Terrie Johnston This headdress is one of many items taken from relatives. Sitting bull gave him this. But when you think about all the winter counts, arrows, maces, regalia, beadwork, quillwork, that you see in museums you have to stop and think about which ones were taken from cold hands and which ones were taken from ruins.
@@terriejohnston8801 Since Sitting Bull gave this headdress to his friend NWMP Major James M. Walsh, why should it be given back? Sitting Bull would rap your knuckles and call you a thief if you tried to do that. He gave it to Walsh and he meant to give it to Walsh. Walsh passed it on to Cornelius Van Horne, director of the Canadian Pacific Railway when it was being built in the 1880s. Van Horne then gave it to the Royal Ontario Museum to be kept as a national treasure of Canada for perpetuity.
No and the guys opinion does not matter to sitting bull,he would just be happy to see his belongings again and his spirit hover over his grandson . His spirit does dwell on this earth ,that i garentee,how can a great spirit not be present.
You were there when Sitting Bull bequeathed this headress? That's a good one. You have anymore delusions or goofs?
why would they have this amazing man come in to test it if they were just going to mock his right after and insinuate he just made it up..
Ahh good to see this I am also a descendent of sitting Bull I am apart of the Sioux and Assiniboine tribe me and my family are descendants.
Get a DNA test
Sitting bull has many many descendents. Grand children who come from his blood on lakota reservation.
I often think that as well, he did lead 5000 siouxs into Canada, I am one of them tribes, there's 6-7 Sioux Reserves in Canada, sad to think he had to go back to USA and unfortunately died the way he said he invisioned
All Native traditions belong to each individual tribe. Great spirit return all that has been taken and let us all live in compassion, love, peace, understanding and protection in all things and allow us to again walk through the red road.
That headdress along with all of its accouterments were a gift of sitting bull to a man who had no reason other than kindness to shelter his people from the vengeance of the American army. This is one of the few items I agree should be in a museum and not with the family... because the hope in giving that gift was that a bond would be formed between us and the more people who see it and feel the spirit in it the more that hope spreads.
It's in a museum and looked after by the best conservators...and Sitting Bull's kin agrees that's where his artifacts belong.
A great spirit would never just have ine human life ,some one great ,a great warrior will always be re-born over and over ,his talents have gathered since the dawn of time ,since we were birthed by mother earth.
today ,October 6th,2013 I met Ernie with my wife and son in San pedro,Ca.
He signed a copy of his new book Sitting Bull-his life and legacy. We got a couple of pics with him too.
I felt a great sense of honor when I shook his hand. He wrote ,to my new Kola....
I will guess and say it means friend.
I got a picture with him also we pretended as if he was scalping me lol
Now DNA has proven that this Sioux man is a direct descendant of Sitting Bull, you shook hands with Sitting Bull's great great grandson 😭 that truly is an honor, I say that as a full blooded Navajo.
Not much stops a Native in their tracks except coming across a direct blood line.
Are you aware ,sitting Bull ,Latanka,was not just a good leader and hunter but he taught woman how to soe. He was very creative ,very ,well he was left handed . And he was an amazing cook.👌
How do you know this? Just asking.
It is expensive to care an house ancestral treasures like this Head dress. The Tribes also want these treasures shared and cared for in the most respectful manner. This is a good lesson for everyone on the importance of passing on one’s Family’s history as carefully as one can.🌅🎇💕🎆
A headdress is like an executive officers stars, bars and medals. They are hard earned under authority of a cultural institution. This headdress is every bit as sacred as Lord Nelsons fleet admirals uniform or General Rommels field uniform. To wear such attire without authorization is the same as stolen valour. It would be like impersonating an officer.
Phillip Mulligan shut the fuck up it’s a silly costume. People who give material possessions significance and praise are fatally flawed.
Allahcuckbar what’s so silly about it?
Based I bet you’re the kind of person who praises soldiers and police officers and their uniforms but calls a headdress with cultural importance a “silly costume”
Dean yeah, it’s not even a costume either.
@@AnonDW40 aww, a headress is riding your nerves?? LMAO, looks like ur the only one "fatally flawed" here!! Ur a JOKE!
That is sacred. Should be with family. Peace and Aloha Love to All.
Since Sitting Bull gave this headdress to his friend NWMP Major James M. Walsh, why should it be given back? Sitting Bull would rap your knuckles and call you a thief if you tried to do that.

Thats up to the family
I’m glad DNA confirmed that he’s Sitting Bull’s great grandson. He deserves to own the headdress now.
You only think about money from what I see.
All you YT ppl say this….sitting bill is siberian…just like you
Its up to him
My whole body feels really warm like heat burning from the inside but not sweating even my bones feel warm its like the heat rising from bottom to the top ,i feel strong ,wow the energy we xan feel even through the internet. I feel grounded and at peace just seeing that Pacific historical item . His great grandson of pure heart i feel his energy too . And latanka would be proud of him to go see the headress ,they can connect on a different level ,they will be united in spirit ,this life will be gone in a flash, but will seem a lifetime ,please
YOU MUST STOP TALKING
i have found a headdress in 1960s, in the attic of our house, it was in a tree bark containter no one knew any thing about it..
@SunDew Moon YES WOULD BE INTERESTING, I STILL HAVE IT, PUT AWAY, IT IS IN NICE CONDITION STILL...I HAD NATIVE MAN HERE LOOK AT IT, HE SAID IT LOOKS WESTERN PLAINS, THATS ALL I KNOW..
@@jerryswallow that is amazing where do you live because you could look up on the natives who lived in your area....wow what a find for you that is amazing
@@samanthaward8890 i did that, they dont know only that it is not eastern tribes, possible mid west..thanks

☆ ⊙ ☆ ⊙ I can't imagine what his great-grandson feels like to have Sitting Bull watching over him. People of the Truth are rare in this life. Much respect across the spirit realms.

(the truth)
Strange, my people have the same belief regarding items of ancestors.
I believe this man 100: percent he is a relative of sitting bull inreall love the native Indian tribes of North America I’m in Canada so different here but I have a lot of native friends very nice people they sure got screwed buy the government to this day they are the original owners of so much land in these north America’s it’s like Rushmore I think should be given back to the Lakota people it’s sacred land to them
Or it would be the same way native americans have always worked. The strongest push out the weaker and it goes downhill. Its how its always worked.
They always say Ernie is the last living relative of Sitting Bull. Didnt Mr. Lapointe have children?
Emenv my dad told my son on his death bed before joining the spirit world he said always respect your elders help them protect them because one day you will walk in their footsteps
I'm sitting bulls great great great granddaughter!
Last living descendant? I thought Sitting Bull has at least three others.
***** But wait a minute if Ernie LaPointe is Sitting Bull's last living descendant then who are these people?: ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=HN.607994982159418869&pid=1.7
He is not the last, he has many living descendants. My Great Grandmother was first cousin to Sitting Bull. I'm a living descendent as many are as well.
Wade Brings Yep im from sitting bull descend too but many people THINK they are because they have Bull as name but it doesn’t say anything Bull wasn’t a last name anyway can I have your name?
Lakota BoyZ I was born with a birthmark of the Bull...my sister the dragonfly. My name is Debra Ann Lily Tatanka Tomko. I grew up in the mountains of PA....with the Bears...:-) I hope to finish my book, for non profit, explaining things. There is also a shirt with hair on it to prove DNA...:-)
All families had a certain design that signified their belongings etc ... We have ours and it’s still going strong. So I was surprised that this man didn’t look or even mention the bead work design etc
That’s amazing.
I wondered that too
Sending up smoke prayers for you and your family and friends for peace and healing
Its beautiful.
So awesome..
This man is extremely calm. 🌷
I’m just glad he still has living relatives.
awesome
Ernie did the exact same thing my Elders did to get the expression of whats there , and i believe Ernie
He could feel heat and warmth around the feathers for sure, it's like Raki but he didn't tell us if he was actually sensing Sitting Bull's presence with The Feathers.
MY GOODNESS THE DRUM!
So awesome this is just plain cool i cant believe that they really have Sitting Bull's Headdress that is so cool i would love to see this piece of history
There are photos of Sitting Bull wearing his headdress, wouldn't those be used to authenticate this headdress?
It's lane stitched, using old seed bead colors, golden eagle feathers, red trade wool, and ermine skins, is it stitched with sinew? it is at least a classic example of late 19th century Lakota eagle feather headdresses.
I've not seen any photos of Sitting Bull wearing this particular head dress. The beaded browband is distinctive. It is different in photos of him with head dress.
That's because Sitting Bull wore it at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 and took it to Saskatchewan with him in 1877. It is highly doubtful that any photograph was ever taken of it. He gave it to NWMP Major James Walsh, who passed it on to Cornelius Van Horne (director of the Canadian Pacific Railway when it built in the 1880s) and he passed it on to the Royal Ontario Museum. There is is a national treasure of Canada in perpetuity.
This TV program is kind of trashy in that it questions its authenticity. Anything goes when trying sell a TV show and make a quick buck. 🙄
The drum was just as special
Would there be dna from Sitting Bull on the headress that they could compare to his family?
Tatanka Iotake had many more feathers than that.
That’s why he gave that headdress away ahah. He knew he had enough for another one. Some chiefs actually put all their feathers on one headdress and it would be long as fuck. It’s cool how things worked back then.
M TA them double trailers riding the grasses while they was on horseback lol
Latanka manifestations are ,a wolf ,a bear ,a hawk ,a 16th century witch ,a leader on another planet who built a city of crystals ,a dective just before this life another shaman many times over ,a lion ,,a blue whale,a tree he was also Thor and much more ,thats why he was such a great leader. His date of birth at present holds three 3s in it born in the hour of 3 pm which makes him master teacher. 31.3.73
Something strong is saying yes ,how can anyone doubt the head dress ,that 100 per cent Lakotas head dress. His spirit walks the earth in flesh in present. Nice to see the re-union . That needs to be kept with blood relatives as its their right , to hold possession of this historical object and it would have been Latanka wish . His spirit with his faimly . The memories that the head dress hold ,wow. Its nice to see the pristine condition it has been kept in .
Thats up to earnie. I have known ppl who got items returned like this and they were either stolen or sold for big money used for drugs.
So why does a museum have it and not him ?
He's the closest living descendent not the last get it right..
es la energia del valor
The family should have it or at least if the musem has it they should give the family royalties from every time some one pays to see it..its a national treasure and needs to be protected..im native American and some of my late ancestors things are in museums.but the family should have it or any say what becomes of it..and excuse me but sitting bull has more relatives..just distant but still related..and this was fascinating.
Since Sitting Bull gave this headdress to his friend NWMP Major James M. Walsh, why should it be given back? Sitting Bull would rap your knuckles and call you a thief if you tried to do that. He gave it to Walsh and he meant to give it to Walsh. Walsh passed it on to Cornelius Van Horne, director of the Canadian Pacific Railway when it was being built in the 1880s.

@@ToddSauve excuse me i meant no disrespect and i never heard that story before and certainly makes sense..
@@lolacampbell4166 No problem Lola! Your comment just sounded like the trendy woke morality being bandied about today on campuses. Yes, that is the true story of how Tatanka Iyotake's headdress worn by him at the Battle of the Little Bighorn ended up in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
@@ToddSauve i hear ya and im no college kid and i honestly don't get hipster junk..and i really wasn't trying to be sugary..and i have deep respect for native America i just don't know a lot of this..but i get your point and interesting story though there's alot of history i wish i heard about in school..so anything like this fascinates me..
@@lolacampbell4166 You would enjoy reading the biography of Sitting Bull by Robert M. Utley called "The Lance and the Shield: the Life and Times of Sitting Bull." There is a second edition of it out now called "Sitting Bull: the Life and Times of an American Patriot" but I'm sure it is the same book, perhaps with a bit of updated information. It is really interesting and can be found on Amazon or Ebay for not much money. Mr. Utley is still alive and in his 90s!
He is not the last living ancestor of sitting bull, Ernie said so himself.
For native American nothing so beautiful more than then. I love them. I miss to them. Who had died to safe our Land.
I feel anxious ,the DRUM..........
Take it to the courts,all of his belongings stolen by those who stole his land and wealth ,destroyed his people traditions and cultures ,those who broke his peopkes spirit,KILLED HIS DAUGHTER, and mafe mother earth weep in the process. It not just the people latanka holds a heavy ,weeping heart for mother nature as he loved her as much as his people,his drum was of equal importance as the headress. And he woild give anything to anyone as much as it meant to him ,he loved the gift of giving and was very selfless always tending to others needs happy more than happy to go without himself ,he just adored to give ,thats why
Wow, I don't know what your doing here but I'm calling you out, as a Harrassment if I see you commenting again do I make myself clear? You are not welcome here and that is the only time you will be asked to control yourself, and you will be reported!
Yep. That is the way.
that may be Sitting Bull's but it's Not the one in photos of Sitting Bull wearing a feather bonnet
Sitting Bull had more than one headdress.
The brown and spotted horse families are desendents from his sisters and nephew One Bull. Who is this guy? Lol
+mi hi he's the direct descendant of one bull's son sitting bull
He’s Standing Holys grandson. Sitting Bulls daughter. The rest of the ppl who say they’re his grandchildren are descendants of his kids he adopted. He married two GreyEagle women, one being Standing Holys Mother, SeenBy her Nation, who I’m descendant from. My grandmas maiden name is GreyEagle. Look through history books about him n the GreyEagles were close to him. Clarence GreyEagle was the one who moved his body because ppl were desecrating his grave
Why does it not belong a family member?? 🤦

Because it was given as a gift for this officer that protected sitting bull while in canada. And its earnies decision to leave it in the museum or not.
he is not sitting last or closed relative Isaac dog eagle is the closed relative of sitting bull and still lives close to where sitting bull was killed
Isaac Dog Eagle was my lala. I grew up watching him run sundance down at Sitting Bull camp. The best years of my life. He truly was a very spiritually sound person. His children and grand children have so much knowledge. I grew up in Little Eagle where he lived. It was a honor to know him. ❤️
I would have checked the headdress for possible DNA samples..
Up abot figures. Just a teaser. Probably want $$$ to watch the complete show.
Tbh If I had this, I'd give it back to his descendant instead of keeping it in the museum
Thats up to earnie
Well it was a gift to the major and they are perserving it for all the future generations. What is wrong with that? Its just like the ever so beautiful Headdress from Montezuma II that he gave to cortez that ended up being in a Austrian Museum.
My dad was indigenous so were his parents my grandmother on my mom's side was also indigenous so were her parents but she married a Scottish making my mom a half breed
THE ROM!
Maybe they should have control headdresses...
As the 7 th generation of sitting bills line I can guarantee he isn’t the last relative
Love You Punkin!❤
I wonder if Sitting Bowl really gave him the head dress or did he steal it from him.....??
metallic58roses Walsh and Sitting Bull were close friends, he gave it because they were homies.

His memory will never die and his spirit very strong ,he has walked this planet many a times and has surfaced with many historical brave warrior spirits to help sort the mess of the human and the planet,but he now needs to do this a peaceful way not wage war as this is a challenge for him from spirit ,he has always had to wage war because of the times. These times are different and the planet ,mother earth screaming in pain ,she is dying ,no more war ,this needs to be settled in a peaceful manor,will Lakota manage his quest for spirit. Yes because he is one of Gods finest warriors and a very very old soul indeed. Its a challenge for him but one he hopes to achieve for the live of his creator. Rise ,you have risen 🙏
Absolute Nonsense! Is everyone on a Secret Drug Testing Program? We all have issues but after what people are saying about Indigenous Peoples, Sundance Conversations, Everyone Is Gone Bonkers! It really is clear that people want to be a part of something to be connected and the volume of their own agendas makes muddy waters! This was a perfect topic for my Neice Silver Moon to help her navigate through her own lineage and desire to learn, here's the crux of the Problem! She comes here and has to see her Grampa and being a Descendant on her mother's side has to remain Respectful while reading these Peoples Delusional Antidotes of her own legacy is awful but educational! This one takes the prize! Everyone has lost their grip on reality and I am taking my toys and leaving, this is a virus and I it's just getting worse! The Family is going through difficult times and I ask Humbly please just take a break from posting on Native Peoples issues if it doesn't affect your own personal journey. Its just wrong.
James Morrow Walsh is my great great uncle. Trip
I'm an empath and can easily discern vibrational matches, such as people to their belongings. I would concur that this is definitely the headdress of Chief Sitting Bull.
Rickandrollshow I am an Empath-mage, I can feel the spiritual flatulents that are as different between people as a persons finger print, I can smell and feel Chief Sitting Bull’s ass sneeze, I concur that this is definitely the headress of Chief Sitting Bull.
hang in there, till your meds get renewed
It's good to see us white men and women getting on well with the indigenous people RIP Latanka Teotanka
Give it back to the family
Its up to the family not you

It is on loan from the family

Wopila Ernie
I don't think he would gave that away.... more like someone stole it if someone else did have it. you are not suppose to give that away to anyone. its suppose to be burnt with the person.
you really think the Plains Indians burned their dead?
We lakotas don't believe in being burned my grandfather Frank Fools Crow said in a ceremony that if you cremated yourself you won't go to the other side you will lost on the earth.
You was made by the earth therefore you will go back to the earth.
That was thought my fools crows granddaughter my mother, and she told us what he said in his ceremony.

I agree why not a simple DNA unless Eranie is not realy Sitting Bulls gggs
He’s Standing Holys grandson. Sitting Bulls daughter
What a bunch of coco nuts!!! Sorry Silver Moon but this is the new normal!!!!
This belongs with his family, unless they have given their permission for the museum to keep it.
Yes. Up to earnie
My families from the Wichita tribe,coo shit
How about dna?
If this is his grandfather it should be returned to the grandson.
Thats up to the grandson

The Lakota are Sioux...
Lol
I wonder how much Turkey he eats each Thanksgiving
Not funny at all. Rather harsh remark id say.
He's not sitting bulls last descendant sitting bull have many great great grandsons and great great great grandsons the Dakota are sitting bull descendant.
I'm the great great great grandson of Sitting Bull I'm Hunkpapa and Oglala Lakota so when he say he is the last descendant to sitting bull he is not.
Last living descendant my ass 🤣
I get that, because I am a descendant of him, and that statement made me say Why are they lying to my face?
From what my Grandma Rose said to my mother is that our family is related to him, and I found that I am his great great great great niece. I look like Henry Oscar One Bull.
We never knew Grandma Rose’s last name, and I fully believe she was Rose One Bull, later known as Rose Spotted Horse.
Looked up records and found this out.
why no DNA test earnie? Simple for them to swab the headdress and get a sample then you. So my friend why not?
ABWM2 I wonder who wore the head dress after Sitting Bull Gave it as a loyal companionship gift.? Is that the Dna should be tested. ?
You never cut a eagle feather it is sacred to us so they cannot
Clearly not the same headdress in many of his period photos. Since sitting Bull toured with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, he, and promoters, were no doubt involved with the exploitation of his name and reputation. Other historic legends have admitted to selling or gifting their items over and over again. I suspect Sitting Bull was no different and the headdress shown could likely have been one of many he owned for performances. Warriors honored with a headdress adorned it with feathers and items that each represented an honorable act. I doubt Sitting Bull was adding feathers and decorations to multitudes of original headdresses during his free years. Another of his headdresses was purported to have been returned to his people from a museum in South Dakota about the time of this video. I'm sure he touched these items but I seriously doubt any of these gifts are original pre-capture property of Sitting Bull. At best, is there any more provenance that indicates they are anything more items from his later, theater days?
Before us after us for internity no matter apostolic god and the devil and Jesus Christ name amen
where are all the native americans now?
There are about 10 million Native Americans both the US and Canada. However, they go under the radar from media because of poor representation and awareness.
