Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
He was ordered to attack the camp and promised that Custer would support him.
The support never came.
Reno’s men crossed the Little Bighorn and charged toward the camp along the valley floor.
What they encountered was not a disorganized mass of fleeing people.
What they encountered was a disciplined, fierce, and massive defensive response from warriors who had been preparing for exactly this kind of attack.
The Hunkpapa warriors — Moving Robe Woman’s people — were among the first to respond.
Gall — Pizi — was one of the most important Hunkpapa war leaders, a close ally of Sitting Bull and a man of formidable tactical ability.
