Description
Also known as Custer's Last Stand, the battle of the Little Bighorn was one of the greatest victories by Native Americans over the US military. The Seventh Cavalry, led by dashing and confident George Custer, had ridden onto the plains in order to subdue the 'hostile' Sioux and Cheyenne tribes. Instead, a bloody fight left most of the Seventh Cavalry soldiers dead, their moment of glory gone.
Before the disaster at the Little Bighorn River, the US government had betrayed the Native Americans by breaking its treaties with them. After Custer's defeat, the government increased its efforts to control the Indians. The battle of the Little Bighorn would prove to be one of the last great victories of the Native Americans in their wars to protect their way of life.
