Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
They were effectively removed from the battle.
It was during this chaotic fighting around the southern end of the camp — the Hunkpapa circle — that Moving Robe Woman rode into the battle.
The exact details of her actions are preserved in accounts that vary in their specifics.
What is consistent across multiple accounts is that she rode into the fighting, that she was seen by warriors on both sides, and that she was described as carrying a weapon and acting with extraordinary courage.
Her own account, as recorded later, describes encouraging the warriors, riding among them, the noise and chaos of the battle around her.
