The Sioux leader in the battle of the little bighorn in which general Custer died was Sitting Bull.
After the battle, Sitting Bull instructed his warriors NOT to remove anything from the bodies of the falled Cavalrymen as he had seen in a vision, that it would cause the Indian Nation to suffer.
He was ignored & the Braves plundered the dead bodies for mementos etc. Sitting Bulls visions ultimately came true. The Indian Nation & tribes were hounded into near extinction, their lands stolen, the buffalo their way of life depended on were wiped out & the few Indian tribes that were left, were stuck in reservations.
Basically a large majority of the tribes were subjected to genocide. Not a very noble thing that the White Man did, even though they seen the Indians as savages & backwards, time & history have shown the opposite to be true.
The Indian Nation were the nobler of the people. It was the White Man who was the savage murderer & killer as well as stealing the Indians sacred land, the White Man & its Government cheated & lied to the Indian Nation Tribes. Even today there are impoverished Indian Reservations, populated by very poor ancestors of the tribes that fought at Little Big Horn. Very sad.
The principal Lakota leaders were Sitting Bull (although he did not participate in the actual fighting, but acted as a spiritual leader), Crazy Horse, Gall, He Dog.

Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer was the on-the-ground leader of the American horse-soldiers at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June of 1876. Typically overlooked in this battle is the fact that Custer was officially subordinate to Brigadier General Alfred Terry, who commanded one of three columns closing in on the Native encampment from different directions. On the fateful day of the battle, Custer's decision to act on his own, rather than awaiting Terry's arrival, led to the Native victory over Custer's command.
