There actually was a Lakota named “Little Big Man” who was Crazy Horse’s lieutenant and held his arm as he died...............

Who do you believe? In the movie with Victor Mature, has Little Big Man, in an army uniform, stabbing CH with a bayonet.

Other histories say a soldier stabbing CH.

In the book, ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK, Bourke says Crazy Horse pulled out two daggers, one made from a bayonet. Little Big man then jumped on CH’s back and grabbed his wrists to keep him from hurting anyone.
The soldier poked with his bayoneted rifle, and hit the door frame.

In the struggle Crazy Horse then stabbed himself with his own bayonet dagger.

Again, which story does one believe.
