Little Bighorn Battlefield

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument preserves the site of the June 26, 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn, near Crow Agency, Montana, in the United States. It also serves as a memorial to those who fought in the battle: George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry and a combined Lakota-Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho force.

I had been here in the mid-eighties when the site was really all about Custer fighting the "hostile indians" and there was no memorial to the Lakota Warriors. It was very interesting to see how our new world-views have been incorporated to honor the Native Americans who fought and died here defending their nomadic way of life.
