  • On June 25th, 1876, the historic Battle of Little Bighorn unfolded, marking the final ride of General George Armstrong Custer. Facing an overwhelming force of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors, Custer and his troops met their tragic end along the banks of the Little Bighorn. What happened next was a series of events that shook the nation to its core. In this video, we delve into the immediate aftermath of the battle from the Northern Cheyenne point of view. General Terry's arrival two days later revealed the extent of the devastation, leaving the soldiers on Reno Hill in shock and raising questions about Custer's fate. The news not only impacted the surviving troopers but sent ripples through the entire nation on the brink of its centennial celebration. Discover the swift reactions that followed and how, within a year, the Great Sioux War came to a close, leading to the confinement of those who defeated Custer to reservations. The aftermath of Little Bighorn is a complex chapter in American history, filled with unexpected twists and turns. Join us as we explore the post-battle events, including the Battle of Wolf Mountain, the Dull Knife Fight, the Cheyenne Exodus, and the tragic Massacre at Wounded Knee. Uncover the untold stories of the Northern Cheyenne and witness the surprising twists in the life of Wooden Leg in the years that followed.

      I got to pondering about when Wooden Leg passed away and realized my dad was hatched in 1919, my mom was hatched in 1925. My sister was hatched just 9 years after he passed, and i was hatched just 18 years after his passing. My great aunt Mae was born in 1886. I have others born before her but don't know the hatch dates.

    Josh, i am heart broken by most of the stories that took place here in Wyoming. I have been to most of the places that are told of. The Northern Cheyenne Reservation at Lame Deer, Fort Robinson where a lot of the Cheyenne surrendered, the reservation at Pine Ridge where the Lakota were treated so badly, Crow Agency and the Greasy Grass Battle Field where Georgie Custer got what he richly deserved. My Mother was born here in '32 so She was to young to have known Wooden Leg. Thank You for reminding me of the history of places i enjoy beyond measure. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.🎉

      I'm more heart broken by the fact that most people still rather believe in the myth that the indian were these bunch of super nice fellas who didn't do any harm and that all the bad stuff came from "the evil white man".
      I'm glad channels like Unworthy History exist, that cleans up the myths about the indians and show what horrendous, disgusting monsters they truly were. In the end, they got what they deserved.

      A lot of time the evil we percive comes from putting our values on people who lived a long time ago without our modern conviences. I tend to think historians of today who attempt to erase our history really are the ones who are evil.

    I've always wondered who would have won,,,,,,,,,,,,Sioux and Cheyenne vs Comanche and Kiowa ???? The Comanche had access to Horses before the Sioux and Cheyenne......the Badass Texas Rangers of 1850's said the Comanches did things on Horses people wouldnt believe. I heard the same for the Sioux and Cheyenne Warriors,, i heard a Warrior could shoot 10 arrow's before the first one hit the ground. I have to say my Favorite Warrior is Roman Nose,,,,,,never signed a Treaty,,,never went to a reservation,,,had no fear of Death,,,,and Lived and Died a Free man. The Nomadic Tribes were raised just like the Spartans,,,,,,the boys learned to Fight and Hunt,,,,24 hours a day, 365 days a year thats all they did and was they good at it,,,,,,,,,,try shooting a bow while riding a horse wide open on ruff terrain and hit what ya aiming at,,,,,,,,,,Amazing Warriors and People,,,,,,,and i hope the Ghost Dance worked and God will bring back the Warriors to get the Justice they deserve,,,,,,,,we all deserve !!!!!!! Govt was evil back then and they are evil today.........

      I've always heard all 4 tribes respected the Arkansas river( Dodge City, KS) as a boundary. Knowing they could dominate their own area, but not risk too much manpower challenging another premier war tribe. Plus they had plentiful meat,water,wood and horses in their home territory. Sounds sensible to me, but read this, never heard it directly from a native historian

    Due to being shot in the leg during the battle with Custer & permanently walked with a limp.

    The Federal governments behavior laws,treaties in these Indian wars.
    The South had nothing to do with.
    We were under marshall law down here.
    There is abundant proof as to what the Feds thought of these people.
    And they stand on the freeing of a people from an oppressor at the same time?
    When will the truth ever be told?
