About this listen
The Battle of the Little Bighorn (25–26 June 1876) stands as the most significant tactical victory for Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains during the American Indian Wars. This episode uncovers the real story behind "Custer's Last Stand"—a narrative shaped far more by myth than by archaeological evidence and Native American oral histories. Through the Culbertson Guidon (a Company C cavalry flag stained with the blood of those who fell), listeners discover how broken treaties over the sacred Black Hills, superior Native American tactical brilliance, and mechanical weapon failures combined to annihilate Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry battalion in less than one hour.
