In 1876, the Battle of the Little Big Horn took place. Back then it was referred to as Custer's Last Stand by the Americans. The Indians called it the Battle of the Greasy Grass. The Cheyenne, Sioux, Arapaho and a few others from other tribes were camped out. General George Custer was given orders just to scope them out but not to engage the Indian. However, in his arrogance, Custer believed he could not only engage them but kill and defeat all the "savages". Custer was outnumbered and grossly underestimated the warriors' skills and was defeated. It is still debated whether he was killed by a native or took his own life.
