Native American History

There was no heroic circle and no defiant last volley. On June 25, 1876, Custer’s command didn’t fall together. It fell apart, company by company, along a half-mile ridge above the Little Bighorn.

History remembers the Little Bighorn as Custer’s Last Stand. But Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho women rode into that battle too, and their stories were nearly forgotten.
