Answer 2

The Battle of the Little Bighorn — which is also called Custer's Last Stand and Custer Massacre and, in the parlance of the relevant Native Americans, the Battle of the Greasy Grass — was an armed engagement between a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army. It occurred June 25–June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory.

The battle was the most famous incident in the Indian Wars and was a remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne. A U.S. cavalry detachment commanded by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer was annihilated.

Answer 4

The other thing I think was interesting about the battle is that it is a rare time when the Indians actually had not only superior numbers but superior weapons.

The troopers under Custer used single shot 45-70 breech loading rifles, while having a longer range and more lethal, could not match the rate of fire of the lever action rifles used by the Indians.

Once the Indians closed within range of their lever action rifles it was all over rather quickly.

Answer 5

When Custer smoked the Sacred Pipe with Sitting Bull and others of the Sioux Nation, he was told not to lie or Great Spirit would take his life ... He lied. The next day he fell in battle.

Answer 6

The Sioux and Cheyenne were defending their summer hunting grounds along the Greasy Grass River. Taught Custer a freakin' lesson, too.

Answer 7

As far as I know it was a battle between Custer and the 7th cavalry against the great Souix nation. The indians slaughtered them, but they paid a heavy price for it later.
