Dr. Harriet Skye (1931–2018) was a multimedia journalist who worked in print, radio, television, and film. She became the first Native American woman to have her own television show, a public-affairs show called Indian Country Today that ran for 11 years and was televised across five states.

Her Lakota name, Makhpiya To Win, translates as Blue Sky Woman. She was a Húŋkpapȟa Lakota and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. In addition to her television program, Skye had a career as a newspaper editor, and served in key leadership positions on city, state, and national boards that promoted the advancement of Native American people. Dr. Skye was inducted into the North Dakota Native American Hall of Honor in 2016 in recognition of her educational leadership.

On this date, December 15, in 1890, the Hunkpapa Lakota political leader Sitting Bull was killed by U.S. agents outside of his home on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him, as police forces feared he was about to escape the reservation to join the Ghost Dance movement, a religious political resistance that had emerged the year prior.

In the immediate violence surrounding the attempted arrest, eight U.S. Indian Agents and and seven of Sitting Bull’s defenders were also killed or died shortly afterward of sustained injuries. In the later days to follow, Sitting Bull’s home was dismantled and reassembled for use as an exhibit at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, hosted in the United States to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the ‘New World’.

The cabin exhibit was run by Parker Burroughs Wickham, an agent for the U.S. Department of Indian Affairs and one of the proprietors of Mandan, North Dakota’s Wickham Mercantile Company. Wickham also hired nine Oglala Lakota people to participate in an ethnological exhibit to accompany the cabin and its associated material objects. This photograph of the exterior of the cabin exhibit is part of Hagley Library’s P.S. du Pont Longwood photograph collection (Accession 1969.002).
