Little Bighorn Battlefield National monument memorializes at major battle fought on June 25th 1876, between Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians, against United States Army. These tribes were fighting to preserve their traditional way of life as nomadic Buffalo hunters. The US Army was carrying out the Grant administration's instructions to remove the Lakota, Sioux, and Cheyenne peoples to the great Sioux reservation in Dakota territory.
Neat to learn what truly happened here!
Remains of over 200 men buried around the bar of this monument.
