Best Answer

Actually, Custer was not ambushed at Little Big Horn. He purposely attacked a large Lakota/Cheyenne war camp led by Sitting Bull. Custer attacked hastily, against the advice of his scouts, afraid the camp would break apart and run before he could decisively engage them. Sitting Bull was not at the battle where Custer was killed. The ambush was lead by Crazy Horse.

Place where Custer and his men were killed?

First of all, Custer was not ambushed at the Little Big Horn. He saw the encampment and in his arrogance he had no doubt that he would conquer the "savages". So Custer disobeyed a direct command not to engage the Indians, and attacked. He was out thought, outmanned and outmaneuvered by not only the Sioux but the cheyenne, Arapaho and a few from other tribes.
