Custer's Last Stand | The American Wild West

Custer's Last Stand, also known as the Battle of Little Bighorn, occurred on June 25, 1876, in Montana Territory.
–
Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer led the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army against a large alliance of Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors.
–
Misjudging the strength and resolve of the Native American forces, Custer's force was overwhelmingly outnumbered and outmaneuvered.
–
The battle resulted in a complete defeat for the U.S. cavalry, with Custer and all of his men in the immediate command being killed.
–
This pivotal conflict marked one of the most significant Native American victories against U.S. military forces.

My heart goes out to all Native Americans. You can only be pushed so far until you fight back.

I learned more history regarding the Indian Wars in this short clip than whatever was taught in school. Thank you for speaking the truth for those who seek the truth, regardless of who won or lost.

An old native American
in the 70's said there was no such thing as Custer's last stand that the Indians ran through them one time and that was it

I hate to admit it but I've always been a huge fan of Sitting Bull and his cousin Crazy Horse. When I took a trip to yellowstone, I had to start my trip by driving over 100 miles in the opposite direction. I had to see Little Big Horn. ANative American gave us a tour through the area of the entire battle area, beginning to end.
If you want a great experience, do whatI did.

I'm am a proud Patriot.When we won a battle agin the 1st nations it was a victory. When they won it was called a massacre. Lack of respect and underestimating the opposing force will give you a little big horn everytime #Remember the knee!

My heart hurts I love my people native American

You'd think that American politicians would have learned their lesson here.
No, they keep disrupting other countries through their relentless pursuit of expansion abroad.
Heart breaking.

JUSTICE for all the wrong done to the People.❤

I’ve been there it’s got really powerful vibes !

[phillipbruce]

The real tragedy is that Custer had testified before Congress on several occasions that military action against the Indians should stop.

[terryschiller]

One lost the battle, one lost everything!

[danrenwick]

That's what I call justice . Custer was expecting to encounter women and children but was met by warriors.

[stephencampbell]

If Custer wasn't looking for a fight, he shouldn't have picked one.

NATIVE AMERICANs still standing strong 😎

FIRST NATION FOREVER ✊
R.I.P. CRAZY HORSE

[patrickcombs]

The irony was though there was a moment of regret over the expansion this actually caused the push to drive them into extinction intensified.

100% on the native american side on this one, you make life for them impossible, then when they fight back, you call them savages...Good job Native americans.

Went to Custer’s Memorial at the Little Big Horn. I guess I must have been on an off day, as I was the only visitor there, no one, did not see a worker. I visited the center, looking at the map of what happened and read the history. I eventually walked the trails around the center, noting the white crosses scattered around, one, two or more in groups. Outside the center is an area fenced off where Custer supposedly died with his men. I saw these white crosses scattered all around, here and there. It told me that the soldiers who died there ran and scattered, dying at that spot. Further along the walk, found small gullies or dry beds that could easily hide a horse and rider to get behind the soldiers undetected.
The most eerie thing I remember: the quietness, not a sound that played on my imagination to give me a chill of something, something is watching.
I will never forget that feeling.
