When the United States started moving westward, the lands of the Lakota and other Plains tribes were taken and their way of life was threatened. It was at the Battle of Little Bighorn where the Lakota, joined by the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and other Plains tribes fought against Lt. Col. George Custer and the 7th Calvary. This would be the last major stand that the Plains tribes made against the U.S. government before the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 forever ended that Plains way of life.
