Nobody took the time to count who was or wasn't present - native Americans were never big on statistics and the troops had more important things on their minds.

It is estimated (meaning guessed) that there were 260 lodges of Hunkpapa Lakota (around 1,300 people of all ages); there were around 240 lodges of Oglala Lakota (about 1,200 people) with smaller contingents from the other Lakota tribes, the Cheyenne and Arapaho.

In theory the Hunkpapa had the largest numbers, but without the assistance of a time machine and the improbable task of counting those present without getting scalped and mutilated, we can never know.
