I can see the Indian’s point, but I don’t think they should complain too much since they really did kick Custer’s A$$!!!!!

Oh, good grief. People really need to learn to fight real battles, not moan about toys.

Ah phooey. Im Native and I don’t see anything to cry about. Those old time Indian warriors and elders from the 1800s would laugh at these guys.

They object to a Custer toy? Well I object to their objection. They killed my ancestor Miles Keogh at little big horn and shot his horse up pretty bad...phooey on the injuns!

By the same argument, so did your ancestors.

I’ve got an idea, let’s stop pretending we are affected by events of well over a hundred years ago. Oh wait, then YOU GUYS wouldn’t be able to play victim and gain wealth, power, recognition, and position by using this as an issue. You certainly know how to CAPITALIZE on the issue, don’t you?

Oh great. Now the Indians are revising their history so that white men are the bad guys, and the Indians never did a thing to provoke them.

Some advice: Don’t follow the lib lie line. You’ll just make everybody outside your “group” hate you. Just enjoy that casino money while evil white men still have it to lose to you. zer0 is your real enemy, and mine, and the evil white men’s.

The "victory" over Custer caused such a determined U.S. military campaign against the Indians not on reservations, they were hunted down relentlessly throughout the following winter all over the West and within a year had been nearly driven to complete starvation and extinction.

The entire matter of the treatment of Native American people is a tragedy. Custer is a well-known historical figure of that period but is not considered a "hero" by either side of the dispute. In fact, Custer is considered by most today to be a prime example of the wrong thinking of the day. His likeness riding a motorcycle as a movie character is a curiosity but should not be considered an offense because his likeness is recognizable to audiences in a movie about history.

Mrs. Custer wrote some vivid books about their years on campaign. Her experiences are filtered through the eyes of a Victorian widow who wants everyone to view her late husband as a hero. Good reading, though.

Roll the toy backwards, stick the card in and it takes off. It’s pretty cool. My kids ended up with several of these.

Custer on a motorcycle is a little odd, but y’know, it could be worse...
