Which territory did Sitting Bull and his band move to in 1877?
Yukon Territory
Alaska Territory
North-West Territories
Nebraska Territory
Answer
The North-West Territories, a region in present-day Canada, served as the refuge for Sitting Bull and his band of Lakota Sioux in 1877. Fleeing persecution and seeking sanctuary, they crossed the border into Canada to escape the relentless pursuit of the United States military. This move marked a significant chapter in the history of indigenous resistance and cross-border relations between the United States and Canada.
