How did Sitting Bull feel about assimilation?

He believed that assimilation is bad and that it was just a way of the government to place them in enclosed spaces and give them the feeling of freedom while waiting to completely remove them from the land. He wanted for Native Americans to be free and to live how they lived before. There is even a story that he used a man in a pen to explain this by putting a man inside of a pen and closing it in with a buffalo inside and showing how everyone is looking at it and how dangerous it is inside. His legacy inspired many Native Americans to fight for their rights.
