It's not easy to find much information about this, despite the fact that some of the conversions took place quite late (eg. the 1500's in Lithuania). It has been said that the reason there is so little information is because those tribes had no system of writng. Is that true? And were there not records kept by travelers from other parts of the world? Why do we know so little about this?

I've been there twice, the last time I spent all day there, just looking around on my own, and trying to get a feel for the on that day from either side of the battle. And wondering how it was not what most thought it would be like, it has a mood of it's own, it does not glorify the Battle, it does not favor the Calvary troops or the Indian warriors, It seems to invites you to make your own decision, truely unbiased, the site is mostly cared for by the tribe that includes the decendents of the scouts who served with Custer ,who fought against other tribes,and many died with The US troops on that day in June of 1876, with this background I can see why it has that in-between view, which is a real breath of fresh air considering how much people want to blame others these days for the events in the past, they we have no control over, so what do you think of the site? I think it it's a solumn place, and provikes me to see the bigger picture of a differnt time and place.

1770 CE American Revolution begins
1775 CE Declaration of Independance signed
1860 CE Civil War begins
And so on...

This list should start around... 0 CE.
