Tribal Voices Rewrite Battle Narrative

As the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn looms, tribal leaders are stepping up to reshape history — unveiling a new interpretive sign titled “Thus Far and No Farther” on sacred private land where Cheyenne and Lakota warriors first halted Custer’s advance. This powerful marker, set to debut June 24th, offers a Native-led perspective, honoring the bravery of warriors who defended their people — and challenging outdated stereotypes. Landowner Jim Real Bird, whose family has stewarded the site for generations, embraces the collaboration, calling it a chance to share “good ground” with the world. His family’s annual reenactment — now drawing even bigger crowds — will take place June 26–28, alongside free public events at the battlefield. For tribal leaders, this isn’t just remembrance — it’s reclaiming narrative, inspiring pride in young Native Americans, and ensuring their ancestors’ resilience is told with dignity and truth.
