Wasn't there a scandle not too long ago about renaming the park there, or something like that? As I recall the name Custer offended the Indian groups or something like that. If true it just seems strange that the connection of Custer to the site seemed to offend, but the celebration of the battle there and the resulting deaths isn't supposed to offend anyone.

Well there was a controversy about it. American Indian activists and their Liberal friends lobbied Bush 41 to change the name of the Custer National Battlefield to Little Big Horn Battlefield. GHWB signed that into law. Not one of his better moments, but considering who replaced him, the name change was bound to happen anyway.

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.
