In 1876, tensions between Indian tribes and white settlers were mounting.

Chief Plenty Koo of the Crow tribe could see westward expansion well underway.

That June, the Battle of the Little Big Horn took place, possibly the most famous of the

Indian Wars, also known as General Custars Last Stand.

This past June marked the 145th anniversary of that battle.

So we packed our bags and traveled up to Montana to the Crow Reservation.

Yes, and together we attended a Little Big Horn Battle reenactment.

People are impressed by the river and the setting that it was actually part of the historical

site of the battle.

So when you see like 75 horses crashing into that river, you get the feel of what it might

have been like, you know, 145 years ago.

Put Thompson came to Crow Country in the 1970s and fell in love with the windswept land

in way of life.

He owns the Custer Battlefields trading post in KFA.

Today, the real bird family owns the land where the battle took place and hosts the reenactment.

One Indian stands out.

He wears a stunning white feathered headdress.
