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 LAKOTA ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE
The Lakota and Cheyenne accounts of the Battle of Little Bighorn are numerous, varied in their specific details, and — when read together — paint a picture of the engagement that is fundamentally different from the Custer-centered narrative that dominated American culture for generations.
In the Lakota accounts, the battle is not primarily about Custer.
It is about the defense of the families in the camp.
It is about warriors protecting their children, their wives, their elders, their way of life.
