The Battle of the Little Bighorn, or Custer’s Last Stand, was a battle between combined forces of Lakota (Sioux), Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho against the United States Army’s 7th Cavalry Regiment. The battle took place on June 25 and June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory, near what is now Crow Agency, Montana.
Led by Crazy Horse and Gall, and inspired by Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake), the battle was part of the Great Sioux War of 1876–77 (also known as the Black Hills War). It was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho. A force of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, had 268 deaths with 55 wounded. This was the last military victory obtained from a Native American tribe.
Major conflicts between Europeans and Native Americans lasted from 1492 (Landing of Christopher Columbus) to 1890 (Battle of Wounded Knee). There were numerous deaths on both sides. The primary cause of the conflicts was land and resources. The end result is that Native Americans were forced to move to reservations delegated by the United States government.
