Chief Thundercloud's staged fright kicked in when he tried to recall the words to the rain dance during his recording session.

You are probably close to right in the sense that he is being recorded for posterity. What he remember or forgot is something else. History in this case isn't always written by the victors. Then again, he could have been relating how he engineered the massacre of Custer at Little Big Horn.

It's hard to tell if it's Sitting Bull based on the profile. I thought he might be singing, because there is no interpreter visible, and most Native Americans spoke very limited English in those days. Native Americans also had different ways of viewing time and events which is why many of the Bighorn Battle accounts conflict (not to mention the surviving 7th Cavalry commanders probably skewed events to make themselves look better).

I've seen that picture before and I know it's not Sitting Bull. I think it was part of a Smithsonian project to record and preserve the songs of Native Americans.
