The childhood of slow and traits of his dad were good because he was a great leader for not just his family but for his tribe. Here's a quote from the story when slow gets a new name because he was there hero at the last fight and they pretty much surrenderd.
The childhood action traits that I saw in Slow that would show you that he was going to be a warrior was that he was brave, smart, intelligent, and he is great at being nice. Heres a "quote" from page 472 when is "father was giving Slow some wisdom on all the names that is relitives got for thers name."
Slow gained a reputation for one of the strongest of the boys. Also non of the little kids wanted to mess with a big kid on a pony looking tall and powerful.
Some childhood action that Slow had that he was a slow learner and a character trait Slow would have he was an independet learner also and here is a quote from the story. If he had tried to swallow everything he could get a hold of-as was the case with one of his cousins-they might have called him "Hungry Mouth". But that was notso for this boy.
I knew Slow would become a great leader becuase he try to do the best he can to get a better name and to become a great leader. "He is now Tatan'ka Iyota'ke."
Some of Slow's childhood traits and actions that lead up to him being a great warrior are that he is a very skilled horsemen and that he touched the enemy with his coup stick. Here is an example from page 475, "By the time Slow reached his seventh winter, he had gained a repuation as one of the strongest of the boys."
The clues that slow might become a good leader would be that he was broad,strong, and brave like his father. So, it might be passed on that he will become leader. here's a quote from page 478 "He was not as tall as some of the boys his age, buthis shoulder were broad and strong."
When Slow was a kid he didn't do things that fast so thats why his parents called him slow. BUT when he wazs older he went to war he was very brave adn he was bassicly the only one who was figthing best. After the war Slow's father was so he changed his name to sitting bull. here is a quote from the story on page 483 when Slow's father says "My son is brave," he said. "His determination won the battle for us i give him a new namehe is no lonnger Slon he He is now Tatan'ka lyota 'ke"e. wich is one of the best name of his village .

I think Slow would grow up to be a great leader because of hoe he was so good at horse riding. Here's a quote from the story,"Ans when it came to riding none of the children were as at ease on a horse that Slow."
The childhood of slow and traits of his dad are good because he was a great leader and he was slow but it was almost a good thing because he wasn’t to fast at everything and so he couldn’t and wouldn’t mess up. Slow was a good leader for his family and his tribe. Here’s a quote from the story,” you are no longer called slow, your new name is now tatan’ka iyota’ke.”
Some childhood actions and chacter traits that Slow had that were signs that he might grow up to be a great warrior or leader are as follows. He was very skilled on a horse and could ride faster than anyone he knew. Also he was very eager to do things and he killed his first buffalo at the age of 10! Also he was very determined and had alot of courage. Finally he was very deliberate. Here is a "quote" from the story to support my responce. " Slow was carful and deliberate in everything he did. It might take him a while to decide but when he put his head down and went forward he would not turn back. At the age of 10 he killed his first buffalo-a yearling calf. His mother skinned the buffalo calf and, with his two sisters helping, made it into a robe for him to wear. Though he as still called slow, no one teased him any longer. His name now meant determination and courage to those who knew him."
Some actions and character traits for Slow might be very brave when he taped a warrior with his coup stick. A other one his that when he was going out to battle the little indians they look out for him. Her is a "qoute" from the story from page 471. "We have to follow his father's path."
Some actions and character traits that show Slow might grow up to be a great warrior and leader are that his father was very bold, Slow is brave, and he was determined to beat the Crow in battle. Here is a quote from page 478, “At the age of ten, he killed his first buffalo- a yearling calf.”
A childhood action that shows Slow will become a good warrior and a leader because, he was the chief’s, he was the strongest of the boys, he was brave when he rode up to they enemy on his gray pony and pocked a Crow Indian with his coup stick which hurt his aim and fired it away from Slow’s. Here is a quote from the story, “One of the crow worriers drew an arrow to his bowstring, but before he could let go, Slow had reached him and struck his arm with the coup stick, spoiling his aim. ‘Oh- hey,’ Slowed cried with triumph.”
I think as a child Slow possessed the traits of being strong, brave, and courageous. These would help him to grow up to be a great warrior and leader, because a great tribe leader has to be brave and lead a raid. A quote from the story to support my answer is, “By the time Slow reached his seventh winter, he had gained a reputation as one of the strongest of the boys.” And that shows he is the makings of a good warrior or leader.
Some clues that Slow might grow up to be a great leader were he was one of the strongest boys, and nobody else was more at ease on a horses back than Slow. "By the time Slow reached his seventh winter, he had gained a reputaition as one of the strongest of the boys."
Something that tells me that slow will become a great warrior and leader is that he was best horse rider of the children. Also, when Slow was in a raid he touched a Crow tribe warrior with a coup stick and after that the rest of the Crow Warriors retreated. Here is an example to support my answer One of the Crow warriors drew and arrow to his bowstring, but before he could let it go, Slow had reached him and struck his arm with the coup stick.
Slows childhood traits that his dad was a good leader and he was good at fighting in many battles. here is a quote from the story when slow had joinned the battle and he was a hero for just showing up because the other side did come but they just turned around and went back making slow a hero just for joining the battle and that is how slow got his named changed to tatanka Iyotake witch in english means the sitting bull and he was more proud then the name of slow.
His childhood actions that shows he'll grow upto be a mighty warrior is that he was the strongest one out of all the boys and he was a great horse back rider. Here's a qoute from the story," By the time Slow reached his seventh winter, he had gained a reputation as one of the strongest of the boys. And when it came to riding, none of the small childrenwas more at ease on the back of a pony than the boy called Slow."

The childhood of slow and traits in how he could be a good worrier and leader one would be how brave he was in the raid when he hit the guy to mess up when he was going to shot an arrow at slow ‘s tribe. That is why I think slow will make a great worrier and leader. Quote: One of the Crow warriors drew an arrow to his bowstring, but before he could let it go, Slow ad reached him and struck his arm with the coup stick, spoiling his aim.
What showed that slow could be a great leader is that he was very brave even though he was also very slow. here's a quote from page 482 when slow goes up to a crow tribe member whal he's shooting an arrow and touches him with a coup stick to mess up his aim.
I think slow got the name slow because he wasslow and his name would motavate him to be quick.Then the hole time he was slow he has be thinking the hole time.
Some clues for Slow being a leader when he is older are that he was the strongest boy of them all and he was brave in the raid. Here is a quote from the story. “Slow was to fast for the others to catch up.”
Some childhood traits that slow has inherited and proves that he might become a great warrior and leader is courage, respect, and intelligence. I think that Slow has all of those traits and can become a great leader plus a good warrior. Here’s an example from page 482,” One of the crow warriors drew an arrow to his bowstring, but before he could let it go, Slow had reached him and struck his arm with the coup stick, spoiling his aim.” That proves he was courage because to attack a warrior like that, you have to have a lot of courage.
The clues were that he was stronger than the others and that he was able to ride a horse better and faster than others. Here is a quote from the story "By the time Slow reached his seventh winter he gained a reputation of one of the strongest boys."
One childhood action is that Slow went up to the opponets side and touched their leader with his coup stick and by that he earned a new name wich ment Sitting Bull. A qoute that show his bravery is," At the age of ten, he killed his first buffalo."
The childhood actions and character traits that lead up to Slow becoming a great warrior and leader is his great skills on a horse,his great skills killing buffalo, and how brave he was when he rode ahead of all the other people in his tribe. A quote from the story is, "There, already mounted on his horse, was Slow." I connected this quote to when Slow was starting to gallop towards the enemy and the rest of the tribe were just waiting for Slow's father to give the word.
Some traits that I noticed in Slow were bravery and determination. Those traits are important for a warrior or a leader. An action that I noticed was his first killing at age ten. Also, he was one of the strongest boys of his age. Knowing how to use a bow and arrow at such a young age to kill such a big thing is very impressive. A quote from page 484 is, "And so it was that the boy who was once called "Slow" gained the name Tatan'ka Iyota'ke, a name which is known well, for Tatan'ka Iyota'ke means Sitting Bull- one of the greatest of all Lakota warriors. And this is his story."
