Each tribe had its own name for Custer. The Crows called him Ihkaléaxdaakua, Child of the Morning Star. This was a great honour, since Morning Star was a powerful supernatural being in Crow religion.
The Cheyenne called him Heova'ehe, Yellow Hair; the Lakota called him Pehin hanska, Long Hair.
Before the Little Bighorn battle, Custer's hair had been cut quite short.
