Indian Memorial from the Little Bighorn Battle
Located on the battlegrounds of Little Bighorn, however, this monument was not recognized until 1997. Before, the battleground was made to remember the American troops in the battle but was later changed to remember Native American lives.
The battleground was used as a cemetery for American troops that fell during the Battle of Little Bighorn against the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. However, there were no Native Americans that were honored after the battle that they fought to preserve their land. This changed in 1997 when the name changed from Custer Battlefield National Monument to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The Indian Memorial includes several plaques as well as the centerpiece called Spirit Warrior Sculpture.
