: : : This is stictly my opinion but I think that the Souix and the Cheyenne should be given a bit more credit in that battle. Although I am white I believe that the whites were being land hungry when they fought for the Hills. I have a great respect for the indians and I believe that they were handled unjustly. Maybe it could have been prevented, and maybe not. We will never know. I mean to offend no one.

Well Julie,

I think we should have left them alone. I will never understand the white man ways of thinking when came to the great plains indians. Why do we need so much land for what I dont see big citys or communties in the LBH area so why did the white man have to have all the land you know dame well the 7th Cav was not going to round them up and placed them on a reservation Custer had every intendsion of slaughtering women, men, and children. I feel sorry for the men and officers that had to fight under him keogh yates calhon and hell his own family.
