Little Bighorn National Park, MT

Little Bighorn commemorates a dark moment in US history, where the US government was trying to turn all of the Natives Americans into Christian Farmers living peacefully on reservations, while the Natives were defending their way of life as nomadic buffalo hunters. In this famous battle the Natives (whom I refuse to call Indians because are we really still using an incorrect term based on a mistake made in 1492?) overtook 220 US soldiers and slayed them all. The battlefield has markers where individual men fell, white for the government men, red for the native warriors. Helps bring the battle alive. There was a 40-minute lecture by Michael Donahue, who was in his 25th year as a summer park ranger, a college professor the rest of the year, and a published author on this very subject. Great stuff.
