Two South Dakota men are hoping to have Sitting Bull's gravesite placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Rhett Albers and Bryan Defender bought the 40-acre site in Mobridge in 2005. They have been working to restore the land and hope to create a visitor center.
Sitting Bull was originally buried in Yates, North Dakota, but his body was moved to Mobridge in 1953 by his descendants.
