After the Indian Wars and the Battle of the Little Bighorn, many colonists were moved to the lands in the west.
In the Little Bighorn Battle, which took place on June 25, 1876, in Montana Territory along the Little Bighorn River, a group of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors faced off against federal troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (1839–76).
Since the discovery of gold in Native American territories, tensions between the two groups have been escalating. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were sent by the U.S. Army to confront several tribes after they failed to comply with a deadline set by the government to relocate to reservations.
Custer's soldiers were outnumbered and quickly overpowered in what became known as Custer's Last Stand because he was uninformed of the number of Indians fighting at Little Bighorn under Sitting Bull's (c.1831–90) command.
