Your question supposes that all the natives of the area used the same place names, which is incorrect.
The Little Bighorn valley is entirely within the territory of the Crow tribe and they have many specific names for different places in the Little Bighorn Valley. For example Alaxkúpitche (Good River Bend), Ashkúalalitche (Good Middle Camp), Bilippítshuhke (Wide Ash Trees), Alachúa (Where It Is Narrow), Amníashipite (Black Cliff), Bilixawuá (Rumbling Water). The river itself is Iisaxpúatahcheeaashe Aliakáate (Small Bighorn Sheep River).
The Crows use the term Bikkaatashé (Greasy Grass) for an area between Lodge Grass and Rotten Grass Creek, Montana. This is named because of the nutritious grass found along the banks of this creek. It appears that the Sioux and Cheyenne give the name "Greasy Grass" to the Little Bighorn River area, although the true origin of this name is unknown.
