Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed

Moving Robe Woman’s account covers the southern fighting — the attack on the Hunkpapa circle, Reno’s charge, and the early defense of the camp.

Her own testimony does not describe direct participation in the fighting against Custer’s battalion on the northern end, though it is possible she moved in that direction as the battle progressed.

THE QUESTION OF ISAIAH DORMAN

One of the most specifically attributed and most disputed claims about Moving Robe Woman’s actions at Little Bighorn involves a man named Isaiah Dorman.

Dorman was an African American man who served with Custer’s expedition as a civilian interpreter and scout.
