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 camp itself — the village the soldiers were attacking — was not a static target.

As Reno’s men charged toward the Hunkpapa circle at the southern end, women and children were already running north along the western bank of the river, putting distance between themselves and the attacking force.

The camp was not empty of fighting men, but the noncombatants — the people the camp existed to shelter and protect — were moving even as the warriors moved to meet the soldiers.

Moving Robe Woman was in this landscape.
