About CBHMA
By June 1876, the several bands of the Lakota Nation along with their ally the Northern Cheyenne Nation, had reached the traditional summer hunting areas in the Yellowstone, Powder, Tongue, and Big Horn River country. Three columns of the United States Army were moving into the same region.
By July, over 300 soldiers from all sides lay dead in the Montana and Wyoming countryside. The Lakota and Cheyenne bands dispersed, as was their custom when pressed by the Army soldiers and The Crow and Arickaree scouts had returned to their homes having guided the Army columns to their destinies. The dust that settled over these battlefields covered and clouded the history as much as it covered the drying sage and bleaching bones.
The purpose of the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association, founded in 1953, is to provide a mechanism for the study of this battle, the people involved on both sides, the times, and the Plains Indians Wars in general. We are over 2,000 strong around the world since for some reason this one battle has transcended time and distance to remain one of the most discussed military actions in United States history.
