  1. BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN

  2. Reasons for conflict among the natives, settlers and government : • The leaders of the Sioux on the Great Plains were against the idea of the Governments efforts to confine their people to reservation. After gold was discovered, the U.S army ignored the old agreements and invaded the region.

  3. Major Players: tribes, Native leaders, Military Leaders etc.. : • Tribe leaders included Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse who led the Sioux on the great plains. • The Sioux Tribe and the Great Plains Tribe and the Cheyenne Tribe. • George Cluster was the leader of the U.S. army.

  4. Details of the conflict • The Battle of the Little Bighorn was fought on June 25, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory. This battle was Lakota Sioux against the Cheyenne warriors.

  5. Details of the conflict • Custard and the 7th Calvary, which consisted of 600 men, were sent to scout. Custard decided to press on into the village rather than wait for reinforcements. Custards group of roughly 210 was easily overwhelmed by around 3,000 Native American warriors lead by Crazy Horse. Within an hour Custard and all his men lie dead.

  6. The impact of the conflict on the relationship between the Native Group and the U.S. • The outrage over the death of General Custard led the U.S. government to redraw the boundaries of the Black Hills so that the land would not be part of reservation property. This left it open for white men to settle.
