Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
It is a story about a community defending itself.
It is a story about a family — a sister, a brother, parents, a camp full of people who were going about their lives when soldiers appeared on the horizon.
It is a story about grief and courage and the specific way that a person responds when what they love most is directly threatened.
That story — her story — was always part of Little Bighorn.
It just took American culture a long time to start telling it.
