What mistake by General George Custer led to his defeat by Chief Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse at the Battle of Little Big Horn?

General George Armstrong Custer was working under the direction of General Philip Sheridan in the Black Hills of Minnesota. They were there to enforce the policy of then President US Grant which was to move as many Native Americans as possible onto "Indian Reservations". The Native Tribes resisted this policy. It was during the Summer of 1876 that Custer, leading the 7th Cavalry, made the error of dividing his troops. He was left with 260 troops, which were attacked by an overwhelming force of Natives led by Chief Sitting Bull and wiped them out. Actually, Chief Crazy Horse arrived at the battle seen too late.
