The Little Bighorn National Monument in Montana is a place of set aside to remember the battle between Lt. Col. George A. Custer and the 7th Calvary and the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes. Here 263 soldiers in the US Army died fighting several thousand Lakota and Cheyenne warriors. The battle is often referred to as Custer's last stand. The monument has memorials to both the US Army soldiers and the Indian Warriors. It is a monument to two groups of people who both fought for what was right for their people. In the end, neither side won, because the tribes ended up on the reservations and the US Army suffered a great loss of life.
