Sittingbullsignature.jpg ‎(150 × 56 pixels, file size: 23 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Summary

Authenticated signature of Sitting Bull; I edited the signature photo so that it is b/w and cropped it down and resized it. Sitting Bull's signature is significant to the article because he used it to earn money while performing in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show after selling all his possessions in the late 1870s in Canada.

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright two-dimensional work may not be protected under American copyright law. The official position of the Wikimedia Foundation is that all reproductions of public domain works should be considered to be in the public domain regardless of their country of origin (even in countries where mere labor is enough to make a reproduction eligible for protection).
This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1923 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.
