Another question which is possible to answer as there is no definitive count for the Indians camp on the greasy Grass (Little Big Horn) and even though it is thought the numbers of US Cavalry are accurate, the only concrete number are the 7th Cavalry dead.

Estimated: 1800 Indian Warriors VS. 31 officers, 566 troopers,15 armed civilians, and ~35-40 scouts -- 7th Cavalry dead ~268 killed (16 officers, 242 troopers, 10 civilians/scouts)

Nobody took the time to take an accurate count of the Lakotas present, since there were other things to think about - and there were also Arapaho and Cheyenne warriors who played just as important a part in the battle.

It is estimated that there were around 2,000 warriors facing Custer's total of less than 700 men (including civilians, scouts and interpreters); around 200 warriors were armed with repeating rifles. There were perhaps more than 7,000 natives in total, including women and children.

None of the Union forces, but a majority of the Native Americans. The Native Americans had 36 killed and 160 wounded out of 12,000.
