The causes, events, and results of the battleare some of the most exhaustively studied pieces of American history, and controversies and questions abound. People have criticized Custer’s leadership, the other commanders’ actions, the Cavalry’s equipment, and so on. For many years afterward, people came forward claiming to be the sole survivor. Here...
The U.S. government was determined to relocate all Native Americans in the area to reservations. Not all agreed to go. The full story is a complicated tale of alliances, deals, betrayals, and — more recently — attempts at understanding. The blog Native Hopesays, “To understand this battle means one must peel back many layers, but even then, there w...
As a Canadian, I first heard of Custer’s Last Stand on American television. Cartoons and comedians made General Custer the butt of their jokes. Oddly, this still happens. Custer’s notable loss notwithstanding, many Westerns glorified the seemingly invincible U.S. Cavalry appearing over the hill. For years after the battle, Custer and his men were c...
Climbing Last Stand Hill, I was a bit surprised to see headstones scattered here and there. The 7th Cavalry was so depleted that the best the men could do for their comrades after the battle was to dig shallow graves and try to be respectful. For years, there were attempts to find and bury whatever remains could be found. Some were sent back east f...
The tall 7th U.S. Cavalry Memorialat the top of Last Stand Hill was erected in 1881. Below it, a mass grave holds the remains of the 7th Cavalry Regiment members. A year after the battle, Custer’s remains were transferred from the battlefield to West Point Cemetery in New York.
The 2003 dedication of the Indian Memorial, also on the hilltop, changed the appearance and significance of the entire site. In 2019, a final dedication ceremony marked the completion of the memorial. You can walk through and around the Indian Memorial, with a view of the landscape in each of the four directions. A simple wrought-iron sculpture mak...
Many horses died in the battle. The 7th Cavalry shot some of their horses to make a last-ditch defensive wall. There’s a marker for the 1881 7th Cavalry Horse Cemeteryon Last Stand Hill.
Sitting Bull, a spiritual leader and chief of the Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux, had a vision of soldiers falling into his camp like grasshoppers raining from the sky. The vision united and inspired others, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall. They believed they would win a great battle. The victory at Little Bighorn was decisive, but it didn’t end the wa...

Feb 28, 2023 · By Jason Gass. Last Updated: February 28th, 2023. The Little Bighorn Battlefield is one of the most important places for both American history and the history of the Native Peoples that live in Montana, Wyoming, and even South and North Dakota.

At Montana’s Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, we honor all who participated in the 1876 battle at which Lakota and Cheyenne warriors defeated the 7th U.S. Cavalry in one of the most famous and decisive encounters in American history.
