![]() NPS- Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument collection Among the Cheyenne who participated in the battle was Lame White Man, born a Southern Cheyenne but living among the Northern Cheyenne, and Wooden Leg, who was just 18 years of age at the battle. After continued fighting against the U.S. Army in 1876 and 1877, many Northern Cheyennes were placed on reservations in Nebraska. Dull Knife, a noted chief, led an abortive attempt to escape but his Cheyenne were killed or recaptured. Today, most Northern Cheyenne live on a reservation in southern Montana. |
