So to understand the truth, come listen and learn from our tribal guides for yourself. Some say more ink has been spilled on the epic encounter than blood was on the battlefield, but of the thousands of books and articles, scarcely a handful have been published from Lakota and Cheyenne historians – the descendants of the victors. It is said that history is written by the victors, but the Battle of the Little Bighorn has proven to be the exception to the rule. Lakota and Cheyenne did not ride round and round him in decreasing circles some approached on foot, some fired from long distance, until finally Chief Comes in Sight led a charge that would ultimately end it for that day. When he reached the hill that would forever carry his name he traded victory for immortality, but his end was not like in the movies. Custer was on the offensive until the very last.
