Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
CRAZY HORSE AND THE NORTHERN OFFENSIVE
The warriors who fought at Little Bighorn did not fight without leadership or coordination.
The battle, on the Lakota and Cheyenne side, was shaped by the actions of experienced war leaders who responded to the evolving situation with considerable tactical skill.
Gall — Pizi — played a central role in the response to Reno’s charge on the Hunkpapa circle.
A powerful Hunkpapa war leader, Gall was known for his physical size and strength as well as his tactical ability.
He had personal reasons to fight on June 25: his wives and children were killed in the early moments of the attack on the camp.
