Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed

She had survived the greatest military victory of the Plains nations.

She survived its consequences — the pursuit, the reservation, the suppression of culture, the Ghost Dance crisis, the killing of the man who had led her people at their greatest moment.

The sweep of her experience — from the Greasy Grass to Wounded Knee — encompasses one of the most dramatic and painful chapters in American history.

HOW HISTORIANS HAVE TOLD HER STORY

The historiography of Moving Robe Woman — how historians have found, interpreted, and presented her story over the past century — is itself instructive about how American history has approached Indigenous voices.
