Answer 2

The only people that know who killed Custer aren't with us anymore.
To The Oak, here is a bit of an education for you.
The reason that Custer wasn't "mutilated", was because the word came down from the leaders to not to do it. Eventhough he was the enemy they still respected his bravery in battle. As for the "mutilating" of the body, this is how it goes. You cut the leg, he's a cripple on the other side. You pierce the ear drum, he's deaf on the other side. Take out the eyes, he's blind. Mutilate the genitals, he's not a man. Of course, sometimes it was done just for fun.

Answer 3

Lakota, Nakota, Dakota(The Great Sioux Nation-combined), The Cheyenne, Arapaho, Utes. The Crow Nation were used as scouts by LT COL Custer. (He was only named a temporary General during the Civil War)

The Great Sioux Nation was led by Sittin Bull, and Crazy Horse. Go to your "search engine" and put in Little Big Horn, Battle of and you can fill in all of the details.

Answer 6

Funny, you'll hear a lot of people claim they are "part Native American" yet when you ask them which one of their ancestors was an actual recognized member of a tribal nation, they usually can't do it. It seems to be the story of "Indian blood" that they latch onto as their pseudo-identity, rather than having real tribal affiliation. You can't deny who you are if you actually know your ancestors and they were members of tribal nations, but this isn't usually the case with these kind of claims. Just check out any Dr. Henry Louis Gates project on this subject and he discusses this phenomenon every single time. I look around at the powwows I attend and see quite a few mixed Black-Native kids and I would assume they certainly know who their Native relatives are, and nobody denies them their status as tribal members. But, I see them as totally different than the average Black American claiming some vague "Cherokee blood" or some distant "Indian blood" from somewhere back on their mysterious, unnamed family tree.

Answer 7

No one killed Custer at this battle. He shot himself. The reason that we can presume this is that his body was not mutilated. Many Native American tribes believed that your spirit would haunt your killers unless it was maimed through physical mutilation after death. But a suicide need not be treated in this way as they would not go to the spirit world but instead end up in a kind of purgatory. This was a spiritual belief, but the whiteman saw it as appalling savagery and lack of respect for the dead.
