Following Sitting Bull's death, his cabin on the Grand River was taken to Chicago for use as an exhibit at the 1893 [[World's Columbian Exposition]]. Indigenous dancers also performed at the exposition.<ref>[[#Reference-idBarker1994|Barker 1994]], p. 165.</ref> On September 14, 1989, the [[United States Postal Service|U.S. Postal Service]] released a [[Great Americans series]] 28¢ postage stamp featuring a likeness of the leader.<ref>[[#Reference-idUSPS|United States Postal Service, Postal History Web site]].</ref>

On March 6, 1996, Standing Rock College was renamed [[Sitting Bull College]] in his honor. The college serves as an institution of higher education on Sitting Bull's home of Standing Rock in North Dakota and South Dakota.<ref name="aihec.org">[http://www.aihec.org/colleges/TCUprofiles.cfm American Indian Higher Education Consortium] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120614070512/http://www.aihec.org/colleges/TCUprofiles.cfm |date=June 14, 2012 }}</ref>

In August 2010, a research team led by [[Eske Willerslev]], an [[ancient DNA]] expert at the [[University of Copenhagen]], announced its intention to sequence the genome of Sitting Bull, with the approval of his descendants, using a hair sample obtained during his lifetime.<ref>[http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/62315/title/Genome_of_a_chief Genome of a chief, ''Science News'', Web edition: Tuesday, August 17th, 2010] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110903171549/http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/62315/title/Genome_of_a_chief |date=September 3, 2011 }}.</ref>

In October 2021, Willerslev confirmed Lakota writer and activist [[Ernie Lapointe]]'s contention that he was Sitting Bull's great-grandson and his three sisters were Sitting Bull's biological great-grandchildren.<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 28, 2021 |title=Sitting Bull: DNA confirms great-grandson's identity |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59062133 |access-date=October 28, 2021 |archive-date=October 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028123156/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59062133 |url-status=live }}</ref>
