The general term for the wars with the Indians in the West is referred to as the Plains Indians Wars. The US Army did recognize this as a war by issuing the Indiand War Campaign Medal, but I'm not sure what period of serviceit included. In 1876, the last serious Sioux warerupted, when the Dakota gold rush penetrated the Black Hills. This lead to the battle of Little Big Horn.
The Battle of the Little Bighorn took place on June 25 and 26, 1876.
The Battle of the Little Bighorn was in late June 1876, in the valley referred to as the valley of the Little Bighorn, in Montana, where General George Custer encountered a number of Sioux Indians.
Battle of Little Bighorn
Little Bighorn, battle of (1876), second defeat (the first was of Crook's column at the Rosebud on 17 June) of an attempt by the US army to trap rebellious Lakota and Arapaho/Cheyenne on their Montana hunting grounds. On 25 June Custer sent part of his 7th Cavalry under Reno to 'beat' the hostiles out of their encampment, while led by Crow scouts he hooked around to drive off their pony herd and envelop them, a standard Indian-fighting tactic. On 25 June he was outmanoeuvred and his detachment of 215 men was annihilated between an anvil led by the Hunkpapa Gall that cut off his retreat and a head-on mounted hammer led by the Oglala Crazy Horse. The rest of the regiment lost a further 100 men when Reno was forced back upon the reserve elements under Benteen in the hills along Custer's line of advance, where they were besieged for 36 hours. Coming nine days before the centenary of the USA, the battle immediately assumed mythic status and it is probably the most written-about skirmish in military history. The lonely battlefield, with poignant white markers showing where Custer's men fell, is among the most visited US National Parks.

The Battle of Tippecanoe.
First hand accounts of the only survivors at that battle state (loosely quoted from memory): The men wouldn't shoot him (Custer - most likely he had dropped his gun so it would be against the (indian) law) so the women picked up spoons (large wooden and metal ladles) and begin or started towards him, to beat him (called counting coo - showing that we could kill you, but chose not to). That is when he pulled his pistol and shot himself in the head. So the first to find him dead were those Indians on the battlefield, more so because Indian war traditions required them to ensure that the men who died were not able to pursue them in the afterlife (mutilation of the bodies after death).
