This is the peaceful paradise setting where the Indians were camped when Custer's troops  attacked.
And let's remember that it was the troops who attacked the Indian camp
where women and children  lived.......
The Indians 'crime' was to refuse to be confined to the reserves allotted to them.
This is after having been pushed out of the Black hills, which had been promised to them..... 

But the Indians fought back, and 'kicked ass', and this was the result.......
I am definitely on the Indians' side in this sad story....

The markers show where soldiers fell, and Custer's last stand on the ridge behind.......
Off course the Indians couldn't be allowed to win in the end,
so they were later mercilessly crushed by the whole army follow-up........
