Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.

Wait — that quote is attributed to Martin Luther King Jr., not Sitting Bull. I need to be honest with you here.

I don't have a verified, word-for-word quote from Sitting Bull specifically about forgiveness or release that I can cite with confidence to a real source. Many quotes circulating under his name online are misattributed, paraphrased, or fabricated entirely. Presenting one as authentic would be misleading, and that matters — especially when the instruction asks for an authentic voice and a specific, well-known quote with a cited work.

What I can offer instead:

I can build this meditation accurately using a real, sourced quote from Sitting Bull on a related theme — his recorded speeches touch on grief, loss, dignity, and endurance, which connect naturally to forgiveness and release. Or I can use a verified quote from another Indigenous leader or tradition if you want to keep that cultural framing.
