Children of all ages were present throughout.

These children experienced the Big Hole assault while in their lodges.

They heard artillery fire at Bear Paw.

Some survived and reached Canada.

Some surrendered with Joseph at Bear Paw and endured the subsequent exile in Kansas and Indian Territory.
