	Battle of the Little Bighorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called Custer's Last Stand, was an engagement between a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army, June 25- June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory.
		By the end of the 20th Century, the general recognition of the mistreatment of the various Native American nations in the conquest of the American west, and the perception of Custer's role in it, have changed the image of the battle and of Custer.
		The Little Bighorn is now popularly viewed as the confrontation between a reckless and ambitious agent of U.S. expansion against courageous warriors defending their land and way of life.
