At the Battle of the Little Big Horn, on June 25-26, 1876, the US 7th Cavalry suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a superior force of Native American tribes, mainly the Sioux. Its commander, George Armstrong Custer, perished along with more than 260 of his men, notably at the skirmish known as Custer's Last Stand. The battle took place in the Montana Territory, near the present Crow Indian settlement of Crow Agency, in southern Montana near the Wyoming border.

The Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho were led by chiefs Crazy Horse, Gall, and Sitting Bull, who fought in the Great Sioux War (1876-1877).
