The Little Bighorn Battlefield stands as a powerful reminder of the 1876 clash between Native American tribes and U.S. forces, famously known as Custer’s Last Stand. Here, Lakota and Cheyenne warriors defended their way of life against westward expansion, resulting in one of the most storied battles in American history. The site, preserved by the National Park Service, respectfully commemorates both the Native warriors and U.S. soldiers who fought and fell on these rolling plains.
