On July 20, 1881, Sitting Bull returned to the US and surrendered to the US Army at Fort Buford. In 1876, Sitting Bull and thousands of Sioux sought refuge in Canada after the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Despite attempts to encourage the Sioux to return to the US, they refused to comply for several years. Finally with the prospect of starvation following the disappearance of the bison, Sitting Bull and his people returned to US territory.
