The name Moving Robe Woman is the one that has survived most prominently in the historical literature and in popular recognition.

It is the name under which she appears in histories of Little Bighorn, in documentaries, in the expanding body of scholarship that takes Indigenous voices at Little Bighorn seriously.

She was Tȟašína Máni.

She was Hunkpapa Lakota.

She was a daughter of Crawler, a sister of Deeds, a member of a community that was at the center of one of the most significant events in American history.

And she rode into the battle on June 25, 1876, carrying grief that no victory could erase — and carrying, in the account she later gave, a voice that history almost silenced entirely.
