When was General Custer and his seventh cavalry wiped out at the Battle of Little Big Horn?
June 26th, 1876. It was just before the American Centennial and came as a terrible shock to "white" America, because Custer and the 7th were legendary and widely thought to be bulletproof.
Of all the books I have personally read on the battle, one of the best is by:
Fox, Richard Allan, Jr., Archaeology, History, and Custer's Last Battle. Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1993.
This book may seem to be tough wading since it was Fox's PhD thesis, but it's worth even a superficial read. It takes a totally different approach to the battle, using battlefield archeology to trace the various weapons used by the belligerents to "follow" them over the ground. Fox arrives at some quite different conclusions from the usual histories, yet they ring very true.
Below is a related link to Wikipedia's outstanding article on the battle, which seems to use some of Fox's conclusions. The question implies that the entire regiment was killed. Not true. Colonel Custer split the 7th into three detachments, and he commanded one of them. These were all killed except for an officer's horse named Commanche which was later found and became a regimental mascot, and one trooper survived only because Custer sent him to relay orders to Captain Benteen who commanded another detachment. The third detachment commanded by Major Reno clashed with the enemy before Custer did and took many casualties before fighting their way clear. Benteen's detachment, slowed because he had the supply train, linked up with the remnants of Reno's detachment. Against orders, twenty men rode to help Custer, but they were chased away and lost another man on the way back. After that, any casualties were probably light. The 7th was not wiped out at Little Big Horn, although it came very close to being wiped out later at the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965.

Why did Sioux Chief Red Cloud visit Washington DC?
In 1870, US President US Grant invited Native Chief Red Cloud to visit with him in Washington DC.

What were the benefits and drawbacks of mission life for the Indians?
The imposition and suppression subjected upon the indigenous throughout North, South and Central America by the Imperial Spanish was a zero sum game for the Native Americans. The drawbacks were felt on the Natives through the loss of freedom, slavery, forced religious conversion, millions killed by disease, and the destruction of their way of life. The sole advantages to the mission came from the slave labor and seized property the Spanish conquistadors and missionaries forcibly took.
What did the Indian women do to Custer's ears?
After Custer's defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn, the Indian women used their sewing needles in an attempt to "clear" Custer's ears so he would hear better in the next life. (The Indians did not want to fight, but Custer didn't listen...them's the brakes.)
Why was the battle little big horn called little big horn?
Because it occurred near the Little Bighorn River.
It's also known as Custer's Last Stand.
The word Sioux has no meaning in any language - it is a shortened form of the Ojibwe term nadowe-is-iw-ug meaning a "small adder snake" or enemy. This could not be pronounced by French explorers, who only managed "is-iw" which they spelled as Sioux. The Ojibwe were long-term enemies of all the Sioux tribes, so it is not intended as a compliment.
Sioux is not the name of a tribe but a large number of related tribes such as the Oglala, Brule, Hunkpapa, Yankton, Sisseton and many more.
When was General Custer's last stand?
The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called Custer's Last Stand, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes, against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle occurred June 25th to June 26th, 1876.
Who made Gabrielino tribe clothing?
The men and children generally did not wear clothing, as the temperature was so warm and they did not have the social conventions that we have today. Women wore deerskin aprons.
Did anyone or animal survive the battle of little big horn?
Probably not, unless it was taken as a prize by the Lakota or one of their allies. The only horse found to survive Custer's Last Stand was Captain Keogh's horse, a gelding named Commanche which then became the pampered mascot of the 7th for the rest of its life.

Who lost the Battle of Little Big Horn?
General George Custer's 7th Cavalry was defeated at the battle of the Little Bighorn. The 7th Cavalry was divided into three commands for a three sided attack on lied Indian encampment containing members of several tribes, including the Sioux. Majors Benteen and Reno had approximatey 465 and 175 of Custer's force,leaving Custer with approximately 200 soldiers plus some scouts and civilians. Custer's force was wiped out to the last man, but Benteen and Reno's forces survived. The Indian tribes fled when they learned of Terry's cavalry forces moving towards the battlefield. Sitting Bull fled into Canada , along with many of his followers. The Little Bighorn was the end of the tribes that fought there. It was a strategic blunder of catastrophic proportions for their people. Sitting Bull later surrendered to US authorities, along with many of his people.
One trivia from this battle is that only a horse survived from the army side. The horse was Comanche. Comanche was taken to Fort Riley, Kansas, which was the Cavalry headquarters at that time. It was never ridden again and was walked during parades. The last cavalry horse of the Fort Riley was Chief. They had an NCO in charge of Chief until its .
AnswerIt should be noted that Sitting Bull was not at the actual battle. Also it seems to be a common belief that Commanche was Custer's horse. He actually belonged to Captain Miles Keough.Answer
Sitting Bull did not defeat anyone at Little Bighorn because he was recovering from a Sun Dance in which he had sacrificed 100 pieces of flesh, fallen into a trance and foreseen an attack as soldiers falling into camp.
The primary war chiefs who led the fight against Custer that day were Gall and Crazy Horse.
What was the causes for general Custer's defeat?
There are many causes, but essentially Custer found himself outnumbered, being attacked from high ground, and without the ability to manoeuvre. He also refused to retreat, underestimating the danger his forces were in. This allowed him to be surrounded and annihilated.
"Custer's Last Stand" was a monumental failure of battlefield tactics.
Who got scalped by the Indians?

The Iroquois and Comanche used scalping to show the European settlers that they could be just as brutal as they were in the hopes it would deter them from taking their land.
