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 victory at the Greasy Grass.
The defeat of everything the victory had tried to preserve.
The long survival in a world that had been fundamentally and irreversibly changed.
She was Hunkpapa Lakota.
She rode into the battle after her brother was killed.
She lived through the victory and through the consequences of the victory.
She gave testimony that preserved her account in the historical record.
Her story is the Lakota side of Little Bighorn — and the Lakota side of Little Bighorn is not a footnote to Custer’s story.
