Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
Custer took command in 1866 and led the regiment through the initial years of the Plains campaigns.
The regiment was responsible for the Washita Massacre of November 27, 1868 — an attack on the village of Cheyenne chief Black Kettle on the Washita River in present-day Oklahoma.
Black Kettle’s village was not a camp of warriors preparing for battle.
Black Kettle was a peace advocate who had tried repeatedly to maintain good relations with the United States.
His camp flew both an American flag and a white flag of peace when the Seventh Cavalry attacked in the predawn darkness.
The attack killed an estimated 150 Cheyenne, including women and children.
