Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
The reduction of the herds was one of the pressures that had brought so many bands together on the Greasy Grass that summer.
The victory at Little Bighorn could not stop this process.
No military victory could stop it.
The destruction of the bison herds was driven by market forces and by the steady advance of the railroad and settlement frontier that no force available to the Lakota could reverse.
Moving Robe Woman lived to see the world the bison had sustained effectively disappear within her lifetime.
She saw the tipis replaced by government-issued cabins on the reservation.
