Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.”

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called Custer's Last Stand, was an engagement between the combined forces of the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne tribes against the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army. The most famous of all of the Indian Wars, the remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne occurred over two days on June 25-26, 1876 near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory.

 The U.S. cavalry detachment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, lost every soldier in his unit. In late 1875, the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians defiantly left their reservations, outraged over the continued intrusions of whites into their sacred lands in the Black Hills. Soon, the recalcitrant Indians gathered in Montana with the great warrior Sitting Bull to fight for their lands. The following spring, two victories over the U.S. Cavalry emboldened them to fight on in the summer of 1876

. On November 9, 1875, U.S. forces were sent to attack the Indians based on a report by an Indian Inspector that stated hundreds of Lakota and Northern Cheyenne, associated with Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, were hostile to the U.S. interest in Indian lands. The gold-rich Black Hills also played an important role in the attack. As the largest troop under General Alfred Terry, Lieutenant Colonel Custer's force arrived at an overlook 14 miles east of the Little Bighorn River on the night of June 24, 1876, the rest of the column was marching toward the mouth of the Little Bighorn, to provide a blocking action. In the meantime, two Crow Indian scouts were sent ahead to survey the situation. My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

Returning with a warning that a very large Indian encampment was situated at the Little Bighorn River, Custer chose to ignore this news, dividing his regiment into four commands with plans to continue with the attack. Expecting the Indians to flee at the first sign of assault, Custer moved his men forward on June 25th. Without sufficient knowledge of the village's size, the first battalion, commanded by Major Marcus Reno, was ordered to attack. Soon, Reno's squadron of 175 soldiers prepared an assault at the southern end of the Indian village. However, they quickly realized that the Lakota and Northern

Cheyenne force was much larger than they anticipated and showed no signs of fleeing at the sight of the soldiers. He soon sent a message to Custer, but when he heard nothing in return, Reno launched his offense northward. Fearing they might be trapped, Reno halted his charging men, dismounted and fired upon the village at a distance. After some 20 minutes, the group had taken only one casualty and Custer's promised reinforcements had not shown up. Ordering a retreat into the timber and brush along the river, the soldiers were quickly pursued by a mix of Cheyenne and Sioux Indians, who took a number of casualties and the battalion fled.

 Continuing to retreat uphill to the bluffs east of the river, Reno's force was met by a squadron commanded by Captain Frederick Benteen. Benteen's force had been sent by Custer to prevent Indian escape through the upper valley of the Little Bighorn River. His arrival on the bluffs was just in time to save Reno's men from being completely wiped out. Though the combined force was then reinforced by a smaller command escorting Benteen’s pack train, the troops did not continue on towards Custer's men for at least an hour, in spite of the fact that heavy gunfire was heard from the north. This failure to move would later prompt criticism that Benteen had failed to follow orders to "march to the sound of the guns."My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

  In the meantime, Custer's plans were to strike the northern end of the encampment, simultaneous with Reno’s attack from the south. However, Custer underestimated the terrain he would have to cover before making his assault, negotiating bluffs and ravines before arriving at a place that the soldiers could attack. By the time he arrived, Reno had already been driven back by the Indians, who soon discovered Custer and his men coming towards the other end of the village. The Cheyenne and Sioux crossed the river and pushed into the advancing soldiers, forcing them back to a long high ridge to the north. Meanwhile, another force of Sioux under Crazy Horse's command swiftly moved downstream and then doubled back in a sweeping arc, enveloping Custer and his men. My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

 As the Indians closed in on Custer, some 3.5 miles north of Reno and Benteen, Custer ordered his men to shoot their horses and stack the carcasses to form a wall. However, the horses provided little protection against the onslaught of bullets and arrows raining upon Custer and his 210 men. In less than an hour, Custer and his men were killed in the worst American military disaster ever. While exact numbers are difficult to determine, it is clear that the Northern Cheyenne and Lakota outnumbered the U.S. forces approximately three to one. My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

After the Indians had annihilated Custer's troops, the Lakota and Cheyenne advanced on the remaining U.S. troops under Benteen and Reno, who had finally ventured toward the audible firing of the Custer troops. For the next 24 hours the Indians and soldiers fought a hard battle until the U.S. lines were finally secured when additional troops under General Terry began to approach from the north. As the troops were fortified, the Indians began a retreat to the south.  By the time Terry arrived, the Indians had removed their own dead and wounded from the field. However, the bodies of the soldiers remained lying where they died, many having been stripped of their clothing and mutilated. For some, identification of the bodies was impossible.

 Though the wounded were given treatment, six more would later die of their injuries. Custer was found near the top of the hill, where today stands a memorial inscribed with the names of the U.S. soldiers who fought in the battle. He had been shot in the temple and in the left chest, but his body was left un-mutilated, some believe because he was dressed in buckskins rather than a uniform. 210 men died with Custer while another 52 died serving under Reno. All were given hasty burials. Only an estimated 60 Indian warriors died in the battle.  The massacre, having occurred right before the nation's centennial birthday, substantially changed the mood against the Indians. My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

The U.S. Army responded by increasing the number of soldiers in the area in an effort to "crush the Indians" and take revenge for those who died in the Battle of Little Bighorn. It was to be three years later before the battle became the subject of an army court inquiry in 1879. During the investigation, Reno's, Benteen's, Terry's and Custer's actions were all carefully scrutinized. Testimony suggested that Reno was a drunk and a coward, while Benteen was criticized for disobeying Custer's orders. My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

Another contributing factor was General Terry's late arrival on the scene. However, the primary contribution to the U.S. defeat is blamed on faulty intelligence and poor communication. Both Reno's and Benteen’s subsequent military careers were cut short.  In the same year as the military investigation, the Little Bighorn Battlefield was designated a national cemetery administered by the War Department. Two years later, in 1881, a memorial was erected over the mass grave of the Seventh Cavalry soldiers, U.S. Indian Scouts, and other personnel killed in battle. In 1940, jurisdiction of the battlefield was transferred to the National Park Service.

Over the years, the American Public's sentiment towards Custer's image and the Battle of Little Bighorn has changed as the recognition of the general mistreatment of Native Americans during America's westward expansion has increased. In 1991, the U. S. Congress changed the name of the battlefield from Custer Battlefield National Monument to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument and ordered the construction of an Indian Memorial.My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it.” ...It is a new day for all Famly and Friends....

 Today, additional red granite memorials have been erected that celebrate the Indians who fought there, including Cheyenne warriors, Lame White Man and Noisy Walking, and Lakota warriors, Long Road and Dog's Back Bone.  The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is located in southeastern Montana near Crow Agency, Montana and administered by the National Park Service.My Heart Speaks. Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 18“…Grandmother the Earth.
