Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
Visitors today encounter a landscape that has been significantly reinterpreted since the monument’s earliest days.
The National Park Service now presents the battle explicitly from multiple perspectives, acknowledging the Lakota and Cheyenne side of the story alongside the military record of the 7th Cavalry.
The Indian Memorial, dedicated in 2003, stands at the heart of that reinterpretation.
Its walls carry words from Native voices, including words that place the battle in the context of treaty violations and the defense of a way of life.
The white marble markers for Custer’s men still stand on the ridge where the last soldiers died.
