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 battle of Little Bighorn is not a closed historical question.
New research continues to emerge.
New archaeological data continues to reshape understanding of what happened and where.
New scholarly attention to Native oral traditions continues to surface details that purely military-historical approaches missed.
And the cultural significance of the battle continues to be contested — not in the sense that reasonable people dispute its basic facts, but in the sense that what the battle means, whose sacrifice it commemorates, whose story it tells, remain live questions in the present day.
For the Lakota people, Little Bighorn is not primarily a story about Custer.
