Reflecting on Greasy Grass: ‘We weren’t wiped out, and we continue to persevere’

This week, thousands are expected to gather at the Little Bighorn National Monument to honor the Indigenous victory over Custer’s forces and to celebrate their ongoing resilience. The event reflects a powerful message of survival and strength against historical odds, emphasizing that Indigenous communities have not been erased but continue to thrive. This commemoration is significant not just for those directly descended from the battle, but for all who seek to understand and honor the complex history and enduring spirit of Native American tribes.
