It was General George Armstrong Custers last stand with the seventh calvary and it was also the first time the plains indians united to try to keep the white settlers from running them off the land they felt was rightfully theirs. The difference was the white settlers wanted to own land while the indians revered the earth and realized they were only guests here.

The The Great Sioux War of 1876, also known as the Black Hills War was fought over the rich mineral rights and timber that was present in the Lakota and Cheyenne Indian territories. Colonel John E. Smith noted that this was "the only portion [of their reservation] worth anything to them." He concluded that "nothing short of their annihilation will get it from them. The U.S. government then set about to doing just that. TLBH was one of many campaigns. One that failed.

General Custer's ego.

Actually, it wasn't very important. In less than a year, the Native Americans who had fought at Little Big Horn surrendered to the US Army and, with few exceptions, agreed to live on reservations.

The significance of the Battle of Little Big Horn was that it was the last major Native American victory due to the government stepping up military action.
