CROW AGENCY — At Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, artifacts from the past are popping up more frequently. Visitors found a Civil War General Service cuff button just last week.

The park memorializes the last stand the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes took against the U.S. Army’s 7th Calvary to preserve their way of life.

We consider that a massacre, an embarrassment, a shame by Covington, not a glorious battle, and we didn’t even murder everyone.

Unlike the no surviving American troops at Little Big Horn. “The park memorializes the last stand the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes took against the U.S. Army’s 7th Calvary to preserve their way of life.”

The 7th Cavalry was not on a mission to win hearts and minds so you can stuff it.

The Army was on a regular army mission and you cheer their murders, and it seems that great pleasure was taken in the slow deaths of some of the wounded and captured.

The 7th Cavalry was on a mission to remove the Plains Indians from their lands and destroy their way of life and didn't hesitate to kill women and children. When you are in a war like that you cannot bitch about what happens to you when you lose. Sod off you jingoistic nutjob.

I find it fascinating that President Reagan had been in the horse cavalry for 5 years before he was called to active duty in WWII.

Wow, America doesn’t stand a chance when the left has managed to create so much anti-American hatred in the people living here.

It isn’t surprising that you are angry and nasty, it seems part of the new way when mentioning America.

I can memorializing all who fought and died, but this is grotesque.

Whose “our”? Aren’t the Native Americans also Americans? Aren’t they also “our” people?

The US Army was engaged in genocidal wars of aggression against the Plains Indians. They often showed no mercy and did not hesitate to massacre women and children and the elderly. Their generals openly sanctioned these war crimes.

What did anybody expect when the Indians got the upper hand in a battle after the US Army had acted like that? How would you react in their place?

“Aren’t the Native Americans also Americans? Aren’t they also “our” people?”

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, signed into law by President Calvin Coolidge on June 2, 1924, granted U.S. citizenship to all Native American Indians. Up until that law was passed by Congress the Native American nations were legally foreign powers within the borders of the USA.

And the indians were still rounded up and put on reservations, so what’s your point

I'm surprised this is not being attributed to "man made global warming" . . .

Well, besides the one on your head, my point is that Custer and his troops got exactly the same treatment that they gave. The 7th Calvary went to kill and maim but ended up taking the medicine they brought for the Plains Indian.

Not taking a side in the argument; just saying that if you are going to make statements, you need to at least make sure your facts are correct.

“It’s important to think about if you take it, it’s yours, but you cheat everybody else out of it,” said visitor Jeri Francis...

The artifacts have been cataloged in the park’s archives and are now in a storage facility, safe and sound.

So who's "cheating everybody else out of it" now that it is "now in a storage facility, safe and sound" where nobody can ever see it?

We are talking about the Custer group, not everyone in the area.

As opposed to a Deep State college campus where every warmongering act of the federal government is always right?

Yep, just like the Native American families were murdered at Wounded Knee. This was the result.
