Custer disobeyed orders and his ambition got most of his command killed. What happened at Little Bighorn was in part payback for Washita and Sand Creek. Some of the Cheyenne there were survivors of those massacres.

What I'm trying to address is the fact that you won't find US citizens celebrating the death of indians. Here it seems the reverse is taking place. If this wasn't the case then this celebration (to instill character in their youth) could take place on 364 other days during the year.

I don't make the case that the US has been fair with Indians. I am not quite as convinced as other people that we were in all instances wrong, or that a holocaust level series of events took place. And that does seem to be the prevailing idea the media desires to get across.

They are not alone.
