A battlefield with many perspectives

A landscape of memorials and interpretation recalls the 1876 battle and the people who fought here. Include Native accounts and the wider defense of homelands when exploring the story.

The sun sets behind the Indian Memorial.
The Indian Memorial is a circular earthwork carved gently into the prairie. The walls carry the names of those who fell here as well as the words of some who fought in the battle.
