Each of the 6 designs in the Golden State Mint's American Indian Series pays respect to an important part of American history. These rounds each include 1 AVDP oz of .999 Copper.Native American Indian Chief, Sitting Bull left a legacy on the history of U.S. mining. In the events leading up to the Great Sioux War of 1876, the Sioux bands were expulsed outside of the Great Sioux Reservation by the Interior Department. Sitting Bull and other Lakota bands defiant of this federal order refused to leave the reservation. General Custerâ€TMs expedition to the Black Hills of the Dakotaâ€TMs in the interest of mining and settlement a year prior was the impetus to the war. Mining of copper, gold and silver remains are vital natural resource of the Black Hills to this day. The pressure on Sitting Bull and the Lakota bands that remained on the Reservation was significant due to the rising international demand for precious metals. Steadfast, Sitting Bull and his people did not waiver during the period leading up to the conflict. Nevertheless, Sitting Bull was the primary target of the U.S. federal governmentâ€TMs pacification policies. In the Battle for the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull and his people defeated the 7the Calvary fighting under Lt. Col. George Custer in June 1876.
