The Sitting Bull Family Foundation (SBFF) was founded by Ernie Lapointe. According to the organization's website, its mission is to offer the accurate oral history of Sitting Bull through storytelling, by sharing his exemplary cultural and spiritual way of life, and to awaken cultural awareness in the traditional Lakota way of life.

According to SBFF, the organization provides educational projects for the people of Native American descent and those wanting to learn how to live in peace and harmony with Mother Earth.

The emphasis of SBFF, according to its website, is on educational efforts to teach the Lakota culture and language to young people. These efforts also incorporate environmental and genealogical teachings for the community as a whole.
