After General Custer was killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn, the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors mutilated his body as part of their traditional practices regarding fallen enemies. They cut off his ears, nose, and other body parts, and some accounts suggest they also scalped him. Custer's remains were later recovered by the U.S. Army, which buried him in a military cemetery. His body was eventually exhumed and reburied at West Point in 1917.
