We are in the Crow Nation where 8,000 Indians live today. This is the site of the 1876, Battle of the Little Bighorn, near Crow Agency, Montana. It serves as a memorial to those who fought in the battle Custer's 7th Cavalry & the Lakota Cheyenne Indians. Custer National Cemetery is on the battlefield and is part of the national monument. Custer was buried here but was reinterred in West Point. This was the last war that the indigenous peoples won; they lost their land & everything! Annually they come back here to celebrate the battle won. In 1999, five red granite markers denoting where warriors fell, were placed on the battlefield for Cheyenne warriors Lame White Man & Noisy Walking. An Indian Memorial was designed in 1997, a sandstone circular low wall.

Unfortunately, when I visited the official visitor's center and museum were closed due to…read morerenovations taking place. Therefore, the visitor's center was temporarily relocated to a trailer next to the bathrooms. I didn't really have a good idea about the battle, so I was hoping to learn more while visiting. The visitor's center didn't provide much in the way of this due to space limitations, so I was hoping the audio driving tour would come in handy. I was disappointed though, since the audio tour seemed a little incoherent and disjointed. It didn't provide a good picture of the battle or of the background, unlike the other audio battlefield tours I have went on. The stops did not correlate to what the audio was speaking about, and so I felt like that was a lost chance of integrating the history of that particular location. Otherwise, it was peaceful to visit the national cemetery and reflect on the history of the nation.

What a view of history. The Museum is on the field where Custer's Last Stand hastened. The…read morebattlefield was long and stretched many miles. The Museum had a lot of artifacts from that era, including Custer's famous gloves that he was found in. The Museum also has the largest collection of photographs during that era and came with stories. There's also an interesting video that they show. The Museum is small, but it contained a lot of stuff. The gift shop is way bigger and carried a lot. The staff at the museum are all history buffs with degrees in U.S. History. I know Custer was a US war hero (fighting for the Union during the Civil War), but you couldn't help think how wrong it was of him and his men to try to uproot the Native Americans. Reading through the museum, I just thought how wrong it was for Custer to attack the Native Americans. I understand they thought it was Manifest Destiny but this museum really makes you think about who was in the right and who was in the wrong. Overall, the museum is great for those history buffs. The downside is no photos inside the museum which makes sense cuz they don't want to have flash kill their photos & people to post all their stuff. Admission is $7.50 adult Parking is free If you keep going on the road for 4 miles you get to the national park which has the monument and other battlefield information.

The whole of the buildings are very clean and inviting to guests. The restrooms are among the cleanest I have seen at a memorial or monument. Kudo to the Park Service for their hard work and diligence in keeping this as a national treasure. More than just a Memorial to the soldiers that were killed in battle against the plains indigenous natives, it stands as a monument of US westward expansion and the toll it took on both sides. Both sides being the encroaching United States and the other side being the people that already lived on the north American plains and had already claimed that land. The memorial was originally built and dedicated to the soldiers and Lt. Colonel George A. Custer for their deaths during the battle of the Little Big Horn. It has been called a slaughter of U.S. Cavalry soldiers by many, through their interpretation of the history of the battle, but on the other side of the battle, many, many more indigenous native soldiers (braves), wives, mothers and children lost their lives as well as their land and way of life, and for many years were given no mention. Now as we study history, and time goes on, we see the history and telling of this battle change to a more realistic understanding of the events of this battle. The indigenous peoples of that area were not monsters nor godless nor savages bent on mindless killing and bloodlust, they were native, indigenous people, attempting to protect their land and way of life. Many thanks to the many people and the Crow Agency for their work to get these changes made in the telling of history.
