Ernie LaPointe (born 1948) is the great-grandson of Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake), chief of the Hunkpapa Lakota. LaPointe is a Indigenous American Sun Dancer, author, and orator. LaPointe had a long journey from childhood through struggles overcoming alcohol and marijuana use related to PTSD while homeless, the embracement of his culture and the spiritual ways
of his ancestors, to his quest to become the authoritative voice for his great-grandfather, as is shown in the documentary ''Sitting Bull's Voice''.
