Sioux warriors at Custers Last Stand, 1876, (c1900). Sioux warriors leading away captured horses after defeating Custers troops at Custers Last Stand, otherwise known as the Battle of Little Big Horn, 25-26 June 1876.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Adam Bad Heart Buffalo depicts Sioux warriors leading away captured horses after their triumphant victory over General George Custer's troops at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. The artwork, created around 1900, beautifully captures the intensity and bravery of these Native American horsemen. The Battle of Little Big Horn was a pivotal moment in history, born out of tensions between white gold prospectors who invaded the sacred Black Hills on Native American territory. In response to this intrusion, General Custer led his Seventh United States Cavalry against a much larger force of Sioux warriors. Tragically, Custer and all his men were killed during the battle. In this stunning piece, we see the aftermath of that fateful encounter as victorious Sioux warriors calmly lead away captured horses. The artist skillfully portrays their strength and resilience through bold colors and intricate details. Each figure exudes an air of determination as they navigate through Montana's vast landscape. Adam Bad Heart Buffalo masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit and culture of these brave individuals. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this significant event in American history while honoring both sides involved. This powerful image serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites us to reflect upon the complexities surrounding colonization, conflict, and cultural identity. It stands as a testament to human resilience and reminds us to respect diverse perspectives when examining historical narratives.
