Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, fought June 25-26, 1876 in southeastern Montana between the U.S. 7th Cavalry under Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and combined forces of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho led by figures such as Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Chief Gall, and Two Moons. The resolution recounts the historical background of the conflict, including the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, the discovery of gold in the Black Hills, and the broader Great Sioux War, and notes that roughly 268 soldiers, scouts, and civilians and 60 to 100 Native warriors died in the battle. It formally recognizes the historical significance of the battle to all who participated, honors those who died on all sides, and encourages Americans to visit the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Montana, which now includes Custer National Cemetery and draws over 200,000 visitors annually. As a resolution rather than a law, it carries no funding, regulatory changes, or binding legal effect but serves as a symbolic congressional statement. It affects no specific group directly but reflects on the shared history of the U.S. government, the military, and Tribal Nations including the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho.
