Looking for things to do at the Little Bighorn Battlefield?
Come ride the Little Bighorn Battlefield with us
If you don't hear both sides,
you don't know what really happened.
Don't miss the opportunity to stare out across this historic, sacred land and truly see the terrain as the warriors and troopers saw it on that legendary day - June 25th, 1876.
​
Traverse the battlefield on horseback and understand how Lakota, Cheyenne & Arapaho warriors defeated the US Army on the Greasy Grass at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho and Crow warriors' accounts of the fight differ to those from the military, and have often been discounted by historians whose book deals dominated the telling of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
But when a visitor accidentally started a 600 acre fire that consumed the battlefield in 1983, what seemed like a disaster resuted in the confirmation of many of those tribal accounts. Teams with metal detectors discovered the positioning of shells/ordinance and other relics were more consistent with how Native American warriors told the story!
Understanding the military maneuvers of Custer, Reno and Benteen is important, but hearing unpublished stories preserved in the oral tradition and passed to warrior's descendents is too.
