268 Soldiers Died In Under An Hour. Only 56 Could Be Identified. Real Story Of Custer's Last Stand.

In under an hour, two hundred and ten US Cavalry soldiers were wiped out at the Little Bighorn — and what happened to their bodies afterward has been sanitized, minimized, or left out of American history for nearly 150 years. This video covers the real, documented sequence of events: Custer's own role in triggering the crisis through the 1874 Black Hills expedition, Sitting Bull's pre-battle vision, the collapse of Reno's valley charge, the archaeological evidence that contradicts the "last stand" myth, the spiritual reasoning behind the treatment of the dead, and the 2005 Northern Cheyenne oral account naming Buffalo Calf Road Woman as the warrior who may have struck the final blow. This video presents the perspectives and documented history of the United States Army, the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho nations with equal narrative weight, drawing on archaeological battlefield surveys, contemporary accounts, and oral histories preserved by descendant communities. Historical violence is discussed factually for educational purposes; no graphic imagery is depicted.
