===Burial=== Sitting Bull's body was taken to present-day [[Fort Yates, North Dakota]], where it was placed in a coffin made by the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] carpenter there,<ref>Snider, G.L., ''A Maker of Shavings, the Life of Edward Forte, Formerly 1st Sergeant, Troop "D", 7th Cavalry,'' 1936</ref> and he was buried on the grounds of Fort Yates. A monument was installed to mark his burial site after his remains were reportedly taken to [[South Dakota]]. In 1953, Lakota family members exhumed what they believed to be Sitting Bull's remains, transporting them for reinterment near [[Mobridge, South Dakota]], his birthplace.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bones of Sitting Bull Go South From One Dakota to the Other. |url-access=subscription |url=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0D15F63E55107B93CBA9178FD85F478585F9 |publisher=[[Associated Press]] in [[The New York Times]] |date=April 9, 1953 |access-date=May 29, 2008 |archive-date=April 12, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130412074149/http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0D15F63E55107B93CBA9178FD85F478585F9 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Dan |last=Barry |title=Restoring Dignity to Sitting Bull, Wherever He Is |url-access=subscription |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/us/28thisland.html |quote=Then, in 1953, some Chamber of Commerce types from the small South Dakota city of Mobridge executed a startling plan.
