What was the significance of Sitting Bull's vision before the Battle of the Little Bighorn?

Before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull had a vision during a Sun Dance ceremony in which he saw soldiers falling into the Lakota camp "like grasshoppers from the sky." This vision was interpreted as a prophecy of victory over the U.S. military forces. His vision boosted the morale of the warriors and was seen as a spiritual affirmation of their cause, contributing to their determination in the battle that followed.
