Who ever did the score for this scene deserves an award. Such a powerful piece of music which really captures the scale, the chaos and the intensity of the battle.
This looks more like the Battle of Big Hole in western Montana, NOT the Little Bighorn. The 7th Cavalry didn't come walking in on foot to the Sioux camp, the soldiers that attacked at Big Hole (against the Nez Perce) did come in on foot.
@Master oogway is dumb no it’s important to get history right dumbass this makes natives look like senseless fools when In fact the Sioux knew they were coming
Fun fact: One of Custer's scouts was White Man Runs Him, who would later become the step-grandfather of Joe Medicine Crow, the last War Chief of the Crow Tribe and the last Plains Indian war chief.
Also, nobody made it into the village, except for one trooper whose horse bolted and ran across the river, but that was near deep coulee. But still one of the most visually moving depictions of what the battle may have looked like I have ever seen.
There is mention of that in some books, but in the bulk of books I have read, the only consistant report was at Deep Coulee. Although, it would be and is, really difficult for anyone to be certain. But for sure no skirmish lines ever got into the village. Custer got stopped on the other side of the river, and Reno stopped well before the village. Good catch, though!
+Mr. Georgie's Miniatures Thanks, I heard that while listening to a lecture from a Park Ranger at the Little Bighorn park through C-Span. I had to a write a big paper on the Little Bighorn for grad school. I almost drowned in all the books and articles!
the sequence that starts in 2:48 is, no kiddin, one of the best ones I've EVER witnessed in a movie… absolutely overwhelming how the camera and music rises up and we realize that they're not few people comunities but a real civilization that was ripped of their homeland… I'd LOVE to watch this sequence on theatre… just amazing
Yeah few movies really achieved that shot,I think it's difficult, black hawk movies did it with Humvees,John wick dragon Breath scene,it's mind blowing
"ripped of their homeland". Apparently you only perceived what you wanted to out of the movie. I suppose the same can be said for your close minded, biased view of the world. Watch it again a few times and maybe it'll open up a new perspective.
@@bobmcham5192 'Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee' is a tragic tale of miscommunication and ignorance clouding sound judgement. From the first colonial encounters to the dramatic massacre of 1890. It is a fault of close minded Native worldview, prejudiced colonial mindsets, and overall clouded observations for war when communication was really needed. It wasn't so much a conflict of Red vs. White, but of the new, modern world intruding on the old. From the illegal cavalry incursions and settler trespassing to the Indian raids as retaliation. The more you read the more just want to sock every leader, or loose cannon figure. Easily preventabe tragedy if common sense was a common virtue.
Federal troops never made it into the camp for the simple reason it was FAR beyond the size they were expecting. It is said it spread as far as the eye can see. The Lakota warriors were already moving out to face the skirmish lines of the federal troops in far superior numbers and well beyond the estimated number of warriors they expected to face.
It's great to see that this movie shows the complexity of history. That it was never simple like how sadly too many of this woke generation wants it to be. Especially when they show how other natives fought other tribes. They weren't all peace loving nomad hippies.
Yes, there had long been warfare between different tribes, and the soldiers generally hired Native scouts from one tribe to help find and and fight their traditional enemies in another tribe. Without those Native scouts, the soldiers would have had a much tougher time locating and fighting the Natives they were sent to defeat. Those old tribal quarrels went way back to long before the whites arrived. Mind you, the whites had often fought each other as well....British versus French, British versus Americans, and so on...and different Native tribes got involved in many of those wars too, choosing which side to ally themselves with.
same reason we call "stolen land".. my grandma told me this..she also explained why she wore a cross after the boarding schools..not all people of the clothe were evil.. to this day my people don't like navajos. I take my younger nephews out when the uncles arent around and show em how to love and cherish all people and what that flag represents during our pow wow. It's because of this moment at little big horn when everyone stood against a tyrant. One day everyone lived in harmony until the demon decided to knock. That day they presented their flag, thinking they were gonna march it through our lands unchallenged. We took that flag as a trophy and symbol for all people (including you) to come together as one ..I encourage them as much as I can. Tell them not to believe the myth when someone tells you that white men are gonna take your jobs..that only happens when you suck at your job ha.
Natives fought against other tribes because that's human nature. I don't remember them being exterminated by other native Americans. I used to think this way, I used to try and justify the European colonisation/genocide of Native America by saying that they weren't peaceful. Who exterminated the bison? Who killed tens of millions of Native Americans? Who owns Native American land now?
Though this scene is quite inaccurate in portraying what happened at the Battle of the Greasy Grass, it's still cinematically beautiful. I especially like the part at 2:57 when the warriors are giving their distinctive battle yell. The battle was basically split into two parts, the native detachment fighting Major Reno and the native detachment engaging Lt Custer. Another commander Colonel Benteen later gave support to Reno instead of Custer, thereby disobeying orders. However, Benteen had no choice but to disobey those orders, as it would have led to him being ambushed by more Sioux warriors on route to Custer. There was no encirclement as shown here, it was a full blown rout on both the Reno and Custer side. Major Reno and Benteen who gave support took defensive positions because they had lost the initiative and underestimated the natives. Lt. Custer was routed after a quick charge by the Warriors and was killed along with all of his troops. The natives fought very hard that day and won a great victory, but not a lasting one unfortunately. The Lakota and the Cheyenne were especially valiant that day, as it was their families being attacked by the US troops. The greatest advantage the natives had was unity, they all had a single purpose: kill the intruders.
I've seen a lot of reports that Custer actually died very early in the fighting, and was carried to the top of the hill by his men. That would make sense given the general lack of direction his troops had after the initial engagement.
@@ThinWhiteLuke I've heard the story too about Buffalo Calf Road Woman. Not to take anything away from her, she may have killed him later but there is also a report of a man named Whitebull who charged and pummeled a white soldier to death with long blonde hair. His cousin who later remarked of the body thought it was custer but whitebull did not.
Although I do sympathize with the Indians and believe they were doing no wrong when attacked this film is way off the mark in terms of battle accuracy from a historical perspective. IE Reno's troops did not sneak in through timber to attack the village. They charged on horseback bugles blaring then halted before reaching the camp on open ground and formed a skirmish line until they retreated into a wooded area to take cover from the Sioux counter attack. They then fled back across the Little Bighorn river until they reached a high point on the bluffs to the east where they dug in an remained until help arrived two days later. Also the Sioux did not circle Custer and his troops like a merry-go-round ...they kept creeping up on them closer and closer in the tall grass on foot and would pop up and fire. The Indians used their horses but when they got close dismounted and went in on foot which was much safer . Also Indians were not always peaceful people in fact they killed and murdered other tribes and in many cases brutally torturing their enemy before death.
WOW!?!? You must be like the oldest living human huh? What next, was you on horse watching from a distance writing in your journal? I mean How the FUCK can you talk like you were there? You witness everything you said? You don't know SHIT!!!
Ian Mc No one ever said all the natives were peaceful all the time.It's just messed up that racist white people broke treaties made with the native americans and stole their land.
Are you peaceful? I don't think so. Don't talk like you were there to see how peaceful these troops were, they fired first, and rightfully got what they deserved.
It transitioned to the' Battle of The Little Big Horn' cant you read the date man. The scene was probably when Crazy horse's parents were killed I'm thinking
That's true. The Native tribes fought a great deal against each other. Mind you, the Europeans did that too....for all of their recorded history. And so did the Africans. And the Asians. It's not unusual. It happens almost everywhere that humans happen to live.
Like the rest of the movie this has absolutely no resemblance to either the approach or battle by mounted cavalrymen. Some errors in comments. Benteen was a captain. Custer a Lieutenant Colonel (Brevet Major General). Also Custer was not defeated by the Sioux (who over decades had taken the land of other plains tribes) but the Cheyenne
@@High_rise12 look at the British Empire. The French Empire. The Belgian empire. Basically every European Empire that colonized the world. All arrogant like the USA. So is the Japanese Empire.
🎶I was lightning before the thunder Thunder, thunder Thunder, thun-, thunder Thun-thun-thunder, thunder Thunder, thunder, thun-, thunder Thun-thun-thunder, thunder Thunder, feel the thunder Lightning and the thunder Thunder, feel the thunder Lightning and the thunder Thunder, thunder Thunder🎶
George Custer’s own foolish arrogance for personal glory led to the slaughter of he and the men under his command. He thought he could somehow win with a mere 300-400 men against over 2,000 Sioux warriors. He also split up his command into smaller units (Reno/Benteen) making them weaker and more vulnerable to the Indian’s numerical and tactical superiority. Most of the cavalry troopers were armed with Springfield trapdoor carbines which could fire at most 5-7 rounds per minute while the Indians mostly carried lever-action Winchester/Henry rifles which could fire twice as many rounds per minute giving them a higher rate of fire despite being at a topographical disadvantage attacking Custer’s force defending the hill/bluff where the “Last Stand” occurred. Ignorance is bliss, and Custer’s outfit suffered the consequences for it’s implementation.
Well, I don't know what it's called....but it's not what happened at that battle. What happened was a chaotic retreat by the troops on horseback, hot pursuit by the Natives on horseback, and then surrounding the dismounted troops from all sides and moving up mostly on foot, using cover, to finish them off. You'll lose fewer warriors doing it that way. The "circling" attack on horses is not advisable against a dug-in enemy...not that the soldiers had much time to dig in...except on Reno Hill. Much better to move up gradually on foot, use cover, and snipe at the soldiers until there aren't many left...then swarm over them.
First person accounts say that only one trooper charged into the camp on a horse. That was because the horse panicked and ran away with him. No troopers stalked through the woods at first. They rode close to the camp and were ordered to dismount and advance on foot from the open plain. Reno saw he was outnumbered and ordered a mounted retreat into the woods where he went a little crazy! Then ordered an "every man for himself" retreat across the river to a high hill. He and the troopers who made it there were saved by Benteen and his men.
I don't know what any of that stuff with the Indian scouts attacking into the village was, but it was NOT the Battle of the Little Big Horn. At no time did the 7th or any of it's scouts get into the village. Plus there are no fir trees along the LBH, it was and still is Cottonwoods.
podria algun genio de youtube deponer como estaban las cosas como antes..??? una pelicula o fagmentoy podias hacer tu comentario.......AHORA TENES QUE PASAR 40 PELICULAS Y AHI RECIEN PODES COMENTAR.....MUCHOS LES AGRACECERE
As fuck,lol..Grow up..# 1 Custer Did'ent die at Little big horn,And most Of This Is All Guessed.UghFunny how This country Pass'es On Lie's to Get some Kind Of Attention,lol..Most Is BS.But Hollywood Entertainment At That.
As a librarian for a large school district in New York State, I bought th series of books on the Indians of the Eastern Woodlands, the Indians of the Plains, the Southwest, “Only the Names Remain ‘ and whatever biographies were available on the Indian leaders of our country. There were always interested kids. School boards, with taxpayers sometimes trying to censor certain books- such as “Huckleberry Finn” and “Deenie.”. I bought them anyway.
@Adrian Nelson couldn't be further from the truth, I probably despise America more than you but I can assure you that nowadays kids are constantly being told about how bad America is and was. that being said, it definitely wasn't as commonplace just 10 years ago as it is now
I read that there were over 30 Arikara and Crow who attacked a peripheral village. They were supposed to stampede the pony herd but went after vulnerable Souix women and children. They killed Chief Galls family. I will find the source. They all wore dome blue to tell them apart. The other soldiers I have never heard of that......
Okay not even remotely accurate since there was no fighting within the Indian camp because Custer came upon its middle but could not find a way across the river/creek and Reno's force came upon it southern portion only to run right into a sizeable group of Indians and the closest he got was several hundreds yards away. Reno had to retreat since he was outnumbered and lost 32 dead during this retreat.
I've visited the LBH site, and Custer made no great last stand. It was a running massacre with Indians coming from all directions. As one of the victors noted, that particular aspect of the battle took about as long as it takes a hungry man to eat his dinner.
The victors also claimed that they cut out Custer's heart, that they stuck knitting rods in his ears, that Rain-in-the-Face Killed him, that Kate Bighead prevented them from mutilating his corpse at all. And none of that even happened.
There was a last stand, along with a running massacre. The Sioux were notorious for exaggerating their victories, even more so than the US Cavalry at the time.
Odd that other Indians were scouts and help track down and kill other Indians guess they hated each other more than the white man. Being in Montana and seeing the battlefield this movie was very inaccurate , Custer's men were not killed en masse but instead were in a route , meaning strung out over a vast area in retreat. Only Capt. Benteen and Major Reno's men survived a short distance away , now they formed a circle on a hilltop and fended off attackers.
Native Americans were not homogenous. They were human beings I.e. greedy, war-like, enslavers, conquerers, and opportunists. The same bad qualities of any ethnic group in history.
@adriannelson3644 Those weren't the only choices, stop rewriting history. More than a few tribes, the Crow and Arikara in particular, nearly pleaded to be part of the US attacks on the Sioux since the Lakota and Dakota tribes often outnumbered and massacred their villages.
Native Americans are the oppressors worst nightmare. The Native Americans fought for a little over 400 years since the days of Columbus. Killing hundreds of thousands of invaders, winning dozens of battles, and made the war so hot the invaders couldn't step outside their homes without fear of being ambushed and killed. Yet alone able to hunt and survive off the land. It literally took the U.S military to calm them down. And even that was barely manageable. Look at Custer. U.S cavalry leader killed with his entire group of men. Not to mention it didn't help then much when Spain trained the Native Americans with military tactics and the use of muskets and cannons which later formed Mexico's standing military force and all of Latin America which consists largely of Native American population.
The Little Big Horn segment of this movie is less authentic even than in 'Custer of the West' which it looks to take inspiration from. I remember looking forward to this tv-movie some years back and when I finally managed to get it on DVD (it wasn't shown on tv in the UK, I believe) it was quite disappointing.
Custer followed orders, expecting Reno and Benteen to do their jobs, but they did not. He was betrayed. But society wants to be simple minded, so ignoring his entire service and how he was betrayed, they paint him to be an exaggeration of his real self. That is the greatest shame.
No, he didn't, he was supposed to have advanced further south down the Rosebud and cut off the retreat of the hostiles as the Terry-Gibbon column advanced southward down the Bighorn and LBH.
Reno was a besotted drunk whom everyone despised. Benteen was a drunk himself who, ultimately, had the choice of getting booted out of the Army, or taking a medical discharge. He wisely chose the latter. Reno wasn't so lucky. Both of these officers were quarrelsome drunkards. Captain Benteen hated any man who outranked him; Major Reno was despised by all. On Reno Hill, the evening after the battle, Major Reno asked Captain Benteen if he wanted to "abandon the wounded and flee with their lives". Aside from Captain Benteen's courage, both of these two officers were everything Custer was not.
I sympathize with the natives of who had to go through this, but we need to focus on the future. We do need to remember history yes, but don't let old or ancient quarrels control you.
This is true, but it is also true that this past affects us today, you took away our economic means of supportive ourselves when you took away the black hills, now we're left begging for handouts while the non-native people blame us for being drunkards and beggers
Rusty Owens if you look back far enough, no one has a native land except maybe Adam and Eve. People have been stealing land from each other for so long, it's a moot point.
Jonathan McCain yeah but no tribe purposefully killed off majority of the buffalo nation to starve other tribes. no tribe committed mass genocide, no tribe pushed all others to small lands and no tribe conquered all others.
@@LordPrettyFlacka hmm, you're very naive. Also, dying from natural diseases isn't being genocided. And no, just no, there was no conspiracy to give small pox blankets to tribes. Ward Churchill fabricated this theory and it's evidence, it has been debunked by every historian. Funny people still run with it though.
I was in the 4th Squadron, 7th Cavalry in Korea in 2004-5. in 2024 I was finally able to go to Little Bighorn and pay respects to both the Cavalrymen and the Native American warriors. That attack should never have happened. To stand at the top of Last Stand Hill, then walk the length of the trail to fully see the entire battlefield is just amazing.
Mr.ManMakesLotsOfCan lol no reliable sources out there to truly say what happened to Custer's body except that they pushed needles through his ears so he could hear better in the afterlife. They respected him even if he was the enemy, almost as if they knew he was only doing what he was told. But we'll never know for sure. As is with most of history.
Wow. Got multiple enemies going multiple directions with gun fire and close combat... Ok... In school they said only few hundred Sioux fought..but that looks like almost more over a thousand and more lol That's glorious to see my Sioux ancestors rock em at little big horn. But then again my family who took part in this said we surrounded Custer .. nothing saying of circling.. I trust oral history of my blood then some non native point of view of my peoples history lol
There were reportedly an estimated 1,100 to 2,500 warriors in the battle, and they were well-armed, many with repeating rifles, while the troopers had single shot rifles. You are right, it was not a circling attack on Custer, as shown, it was first a pursuit on horseback, and then a surround of Custer's remaining group of men who had dismounted. A great victory for the Sioux and Cheyenne.
Gotta love how the Yanks were sportin single shots as per army issue and the Indians were sporting Henry rifles as per kiss my ass ohhhh and the traders deliberately selling them repeaters for profit when the army ordanance didnt want their soldiers shooting excessive ammo, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 excessive ammo is why you lost the LBH.
“Damn any man who sympathizes with Indians!... Kill and scalp all, big and little; nits make lice.” - Col John Chivington, USA Interesting fellow. A pastor no less. Not exactly Christian in his attitude towards native Americans.
This is not accurate like most of Hollywoods crap about the Indians especially the Sioux. But the book was good. Jack Wilson and Kicking Bear were very interesting and the Wanka Tanka religion was very mysterious and interesting. I'm writing a screenplay treatment called "Buried In The Sky", about a young Comanche women that I call Walking in the Morning. She had her entire village wiped out and her family killed including her 3 month old baby girl. From that moment the story covers her life and how she hated all white people especially men of all races. Until she met this cowboy on the Chisholm Trail. "The People You Love Will Never Die, When The Treasures of Your Heart Are Buried In The Sky". Look for it especially if you are in motion pictures!
I think this scene depicts when Crazy horse's parents were killed and then it transitioned into the battle as you can see when the scene announces the date. "We swirled around them and had them surrounded" -Two moons (Cheyenne)
It is said that Custer was suppose to wait until all his men got in position and when they did his 2nd in command would give him the ok but Custer was full of himself with pride and stubern
Es claro que no todas las tribus indígenas vivían en paz y como hermanos igual tenian guerras y se odiaban entre ellos creo que hubieron tribus que exterminaron ha otras
O.K, if you were successful in fighting off a home invasion by a bunch of crooks and they came back one day and killed your wife and children would you still think the same thing?
Nice initial battle scene, good musical score, awful overhead view with a bunch of CGI. Westerns used to be notorious and famous for cinematography. Not anymore.
@@HarryH187 Was the execution scene of Sitting Bull accurate? To my understanding there was even more deaths and gunfire then what we see on the movie.
Hell native americans adapted fast to european warfare if not so there wouldn't be any reservations today native peoples kick ass too to protect this country such as native american codetalkers.
The LBH failed because of the treachery of Reno and Benteen with the backing of Grant The Indians left their reservation to follow the warrior way of raiding and were encroaching on Crow land.
LBH failed because a malnourished cavalry regiment attacked a numerically superior, motivated, and in many cases, better equipped enemy, in a piecemeal fashion where the battalions were too far apart to support each other and could be defeated in detail. There was no way they could win that day, but Custer's tactical decisions and Reno's incompetence turned it into a disaster. Benteen was the only reason any of the 7th made it out of that valley.
@@masterz9241 You better start doing your homework. the Indians were there encroaching on Crow land. They left their reservations to raid where a lot a people would have come up dead. The LBH was to be a repeat of the Washita, A four prong assault that was supposed to go in simultaneously. The Indians were taken totally by surprise. It was only Reno's premature attack that alerted them. Why did Reno do this? Think Grant. You do remember Grant holding Custer back from his command until the very last minute? It went further than that. Grant is the elephant in the room that is never discussed.
@@31terikennedy The reasons why the Lakhota were there are irrelevant to my point that Custer and Reno were grossly incompetent. You're over complicating your analysis. Custer's plan wasn't four-prong, it was hammer-and-anvil. Reno would attack the encampment to draw out the warriors, and then Custer would attack from behind them. Both commanders disregarded their scouts reports of the size of the encampment. Reno attacked prematurely and was overrun before Custer was in position. This left Custer exposed and the Lakhota overran him too. Simple as that. Grant held back Custer because he knew him from the Civil War and knew he was a reckless commander. Grant's only failure is that he didn't fire him in 1864, not whatever convoluted theory you've cooked up. Custer had full tactical command at LBH. Grant was hundreds of miles away in DC
@@masterz9241 If you did your homework you would know that at the Washita Custer used a four prong assault that went in simultaneously. Benteen was with Custer at the Washita and knew the tactics Custer would use. if you paid attention the Washita tactics were in place at the LBH. Benteen was the Left prong, not on a scout in that direction, Reno was the left center prong who was supposed to wait for the others. Custer went to the right to subdivide into the right center and right prong. All were supposed to go in together. You divide and maneuver on offense to increase the enemy's lines of expectations so he can't concentrate at the point of your attack. You should know that Custer made an attack at the river after Reno was routed and the Indians were pursuing him. You should know Custer wasn't going to Reno because Benteen had his orders to come quick (go to Custer) and bring packs. The river attack was feint to relieve the pressure on Reno/Benteen (2/3s of his men) and that's exactly what happened. Custer then developed a defensive position on Last Stand Hill to wait for Benteen to (come quick). Now, that movement would have been the classic Anvil and Hammer. Custer was that good because he was the best cavalry commander to come out of the Civil War. Because of Custer's congressional testimony, that embarrassed the Grant administration, Grant wanted revenge. Grant held Custer back, until the last moment, so Custer couldn't prepare his men for the campaign. Think Grant's interference with Burnside at the Crater. When the Indians were found, Custer did not want to attack right away even though his Indian scouts advised to do so. Custer then received a report of a lost bread box that Indians found and forced his hand because he might have lost the all important (element of surprise) You do know that Custer saved the day at Gettysburg by defeating JEB Stuart. Custer also forced Lee to surrender at Appomattox when he captured Lee's supply train and Grant was there. Duh!
Native Americans: Living within different nations. US-Americans: Whiping out entire nations. Native Americans: "Why do you whipe out our nations?" US-Americans: "But you ..., but you ... have weapons, too." This is just way too egotic US-American propaganda.
I hate the fact that I had ancestors that actually died from this, and not trying to brag or anything but on my grandmothers side from my mom, she comes from crazy horses sister because they share the same dad, btw crazy horse wasn’t involved in the battle because our family knows and his own people killed him because some lakota men were police officers for the USA and shot him
What have you done with your life to make your ancestors proud? Do you think you could do more? Sitting Bull visited my tribe after we forced into the reservation, I ask myself these questions daily

the music is absolutely banal and tasteless, a pale imitation of the great music of the romantic era.
This looks more like the Battle of Big Hole in western Montana, NOT the Little Bighorn. The 7th Cavalry didn't come walking in on foot to the Sioux camp, the soldiers that attacked at Big Hole (against the Nez Perce) did come in on foot.

Natives fought against other tribes because that's human nature. I don't remember them being exterminated by other native Americans.

Who killed tens of millions of Native Americans? Who owns Native American land now?

Though this scene is quite inaccurate in portraying what happened at the Battle of the Greasy Grass, it's still cinematically beautiful. I especially like the part at 2:57 when the warriors are giving their distinctive battle yell. The battle was basically split into two parts, the native detachment fighting Major Reno and the native detachment engaging Lt Custer. Another commander Colonel Benteen later gave support to Reno instead of Custer, thereby disobeying orders. However, Benteen had no choice but to disobey those orders, as it would have led to him being ambushed by more Sioux warriors on route to Custer. There was no encirclement as shown here, it was a full blown rout on both the Reno and Custer side. Major Reno and Benteen who gave support took defensive positions because they had lost the initiative and underestimated the natives. Lt. Custer was routed after a quick charge by the Warriors and was killed along with all of his troops. The natives fought very hard that day and won a great victory, but not a lasting one unfortunately. The Lakota and the Cheyenne were especially valiant that day, as it was their families being attacked by the US troops. The greatest advantage the natives had was unity, they all had a single purpose: kill the intruders.
Indeed, what you say is true, that encirclement though, yes it is inaccurate, but it was dope looking
I've seen a lot of reports that Custer actually died very early in the fighting, and was carried to the top of the hill by his men. That would make sense given the general lack of direction his troops had after the initial engagement.
@@SellsZac yah he was shot down before crossing the river.
@@mnpo8987was he not killed by Buffalo robe woman? I heard she killed him with his own revolver.
@@ThinWhiteLuke I've heard the story too about Buffalo Calf Road Woman. Not to take anything away from her, she may have killed him later but there is also a report of a man named Whitebull who charged and pummeled a white soldier to death with long blonde hair. His cousin who later remarked of the body thought it was custer but whitebull did not.
2:08 dude's got excellent footwork,
footwork is key when you're trying fight someone one horseback from the ground

Although I do sympathize with the Indians and believe they were doing no wrong when attacked this film is way off the mark in terms of battle accuracy from a historical perspective. IE Reno's troops did not sneak in through timber to attack the village. They charged on horseback bugles blaring then halted before reaching the camp on open ground and formed a skirmish line until they retreated into a wooded area to take cover from the Sioux counter attack. They then fled back across the Little Bighorn river until they reached a high point on the bluffs to the east where they dug in an remained until help arrived two days later. Also the Sioux did not circle Custer and his troops like a merry-go-round ...they kept creeping up on them closer and closer in the tall grass on foot and would pop up and fire. The Indians used their horses but when they got close dismounted and went in on foot which was much safer . Also Indians were not always peaceful people in fact they killed and murdered other tribes and in many cases brutally torturing their enemy before death.
WOW!?!? You must be like the oldest living human huh? What next, was you on horse watching from a distance writing in your journal? I mean How the FUCK can you talk like you were there? You witness everything you said? You don't know SHIT!!!
Ian Mc No one ever said all the natives were peaceful all the time.It's just messed up that racist white people broke treaties made with the native americans and stole their land.
Are you peaceful? I don't think so. Don't talk like you were there to see how peaceful these troops were, they fired first, and rightfully got what they deserved.
It transitioned to the' Battle of The Little Big Horn' cant you read the date man. The scene was probably when Crazy horse's parents were killed I'm thinking
There's always that hint of white guilt: "They Lakota massacred other tribes too!"
We fought wars for food, you fought wars for gold and oil.
The US army drove the Sioux off that land much like the Sioux had driven the Crow off of it in the early 1800's.
That's true. The Native tribes fought a great deal against each other. Mind you, the Europeans did that too....for all of their recorded history. And so did the Africans. And the Asians. It's not unusual. It happens almost everywhere that humans happen to live.
Except the U.S. Army didn't ceremonially torture them to death.

Like the rest of the movie this has absolutely no resemblance to either the approach or battle by mounted cavalrymen. Some errors in comments. Benteen was a captain. Custer a Lieutenant Colonel (Brevet Major General). Also Custer was not defeated by the Sioux (who over decades had taken the land of other plains tribes) but the Cheyenne

Estaría genial que saquen un video juego de esta batalla
Is that Fred Thompson as President US Grant ? Got to see this one !!
George Custer’s own foolish arrogance for personal glory led to the slaughter of he and the men under his command. He thought he could somehow win with a mere 300-400 men against over 2,000 Sioux warriors. He also split up his command into smaller units (Reno/Benteen) making them weaker and more vulnerable to the Indian’s numerical and tactical superiority. Most of the cavalry troopers were armed with Springfield trapdoor carbines which could fire at most 5-7 rounds per minute while the Indians mostly carried lever-action Winchester/Henry rifles which could fire twice as many rounds per minute giving them a higher rate of fire despite being at a topographical disadvantage attacking Custer’s force defending the hill/bluff where the “Last Stand” occurred.
Ignorance is bliss, and Custer’s outfit suffered the consequences for it’s implementation.
3:32 what is that attack called when the natives are going in circles surrounding the soldiers
It's an Indian cantabrian circle
Well, I don't know what it's called....but it's not what happened at that battle. What happened was a chaotic retreat by the troops on horseback, hot pursuit by the Natives on horseback, and then surrounding the dismounted troops from all sides and moving up mostly on foot, using cover, to finish them off. You'll lose fewer warriors doing it that way. The "circling" attack on horses is not advisable against a dug-in enemy...not that the soldiers had much time to dig in...except on Reno Hill. Much better to move up gradually on foot, use cover, and snipe at the soldiers until there aren't many left...then swarm over them.
A good way to elicit friendly fire.
First person accounts say that only one trooper charged into the camp on a horse. That was because the horse panicked and ran away with him. No troopers stalked through the woods at first. They rode close to the camp and were ordered to dismount and advance on foot from the open plain. Reno saw he was outnumbered and ordered a mounted retreat into the woods where he went a little crazy! Then ordered an "every man for himself" retreat across the river to a high hill. He and the troopers who made it there were saved by Benteen and his men.
Hey guys. Where can I see the whole movie? Please let me know. Thank you so much
I don't know what any of that stuff with the Indian scouts attacking into the village was, but it was NOT the Battle of the Little Big Horn. At no time did the 7th or any of it's scouts get into the village. Plus there are no fir trees along the LBH, it was and still is Cottonwoods.
Also there was never any dismounted skirmishers advancing on the village.
This was the battle that made General Sherman say: "These savages like Sitting Bull need to feel the superior power of the government."

As a librarian for a large school district in New York State, I bought th series of books on the Indians of the Eastern Woodlands, the Indians of the Plains, the Southwest, “Only the Names Remain ‘ and whatever biographies were available on the Indian leaders of our country.

Who were the native attacking the Sioux
I read that there were over 30 Arikara and Crow who attacked a peripheral village. They were supposed to stampede the pony herd but went after vulnerable Souix women and children. They killed Chief Galls family. I will find the source. They all wore dome blue to tell them apart. The other soldiers I have never heard of that......
Okay not even remotely accurate since there was no fighting within the Indian camp because Custer came upon its middle but could not find a way across the river/creek and Reno's force came upon it southern portion only to run right into a sizeable group of Indians and the closest he got was several hundreds yards away. Reno had to retreat since he was outnumbered and lost 32 dead during this retreat.

I've visited the LBH site, and Custer made no great last stand. It was a running massacre with Indians coming from all directions. As one of the victors noted, that particular aspect of the battle took about as long as it takes a hungry man to eat his dinner.
Sounds like you somehow know for an absolute fact there was no last stand. Or maybe you’re just saying it wasn’t a “great” last stand. Interesting.
@@gator83261 Making a silly comment gets an appropriate reply. :D
The victors also claimed that they cut out Custer's heart, that they stuck knitting rods in his ears, that Rain-in-the-Face Killed him, that Kate Bighead prevented them from mutilating his corpse at all. And none of that even happened.
There was a last stand, along with a running massacre. The Sioux were notorious for exaggerating their victories, even more so than the US Cavalry at the time.
Odd that other Indians were scouts and help track down and kill other Indians guess they hated each other more than the white man. Being in Montana and seeing the battlefield this movie was very inaccurate , Custer's men were not killed en masse but instead were in a route , meaning strung out over a vast area in retreat. Only Capt. Benteen and Major Reno's men survived a short distance away , now they formed a circle on a hilltop and fended off attackers.
Native Americans were not homogenous. They were human beings I.e. greedy, war-like, enslavers, conquerers, and opportunists. The same bad qualities of any ethnic group in history.
I just love love hearing all these excuses for genocide from racist white people in the comments section.
@@jakearmitage7811 Good get used to it because its truth.
@@JOHNizSiK True enough.
@adriannelson3644 Those weren't the only choices, stop rewriting history. More than a few tribes, the Crow and Arikara in particular, nearly pleaded to be part of the US attacks on the Sioux since the Lakota and Dakota tribes often outnumbered and massacred their villages.
Aidan looks a hell of a lot more like Grant than Fred Thompson did
I don’t remember this part in the book
Native Americans are the oppressors worst nightmare. The Native Americans fought for a little over 400 years since the days of Columbus. Killing hundreds of thousands of invaders, winning dozens of battles, and made the war so hot the invaders couldn't step outside their homes without fear of being ambushed and killed. Yet alone able to hunt and survive off the land. It literally took the U.S military to calm them down. And even that was barely manageable. Look at Custer. U.S cavalry leader killed with his entire group of men. Not to mention it didn't help then much when Spain trained the Native Americans with military tactics and the use of muskets and cannons which later formed Mexico's standing military force and all of Latin America which consists largely of Native American population.
Natives were killing each other and conquering each other long before white people even shored their first boat.

El mombre de ésta pelicula o serie?, plis
The Little Big Horn segment of this movie is less authentic even than in 'Custer of the West' which it looks to take inspiration from. I remember looking forward to this tv-movie some years back and when I finally managed to get it on DVD (it wasn't shown on tv in the UK, I believe) it was quite disappointing.
good film
Custer followed orders, expecting Reno and Benteen to do their jobs, but they did not. He was betrayed. But society wants to be simple minded, so ignoring his entire service and how he was betrayed, they paint him to be an exaggeration of his real self. That is the greatest shame.
No, he didn't, he was supposed to have advanced further south down the Rosebud and cut off the retreat of the hostiles as the Terry-Gibbon column advanced southward down the Bighorn and LBH.
Recent reviews of Reno and Benteen diaries by historians suggest Custer was such a hated and despised windbag he was left to die.
@@sandycarlak3027 You're full of crap. You need to reread Terry's orders to Custer.
Reno was a besotted drunk whom everyone despised. Benteen was a drunk himself who, ultimately, had the choice of getting booted out of the Army, or taking a medical discharge. He wisely chose the latter. Reno wasn't so lucky. Both of these officers were quarrelsome drunkards. Captain Benteen hated any man who outranked him; Major Reno was despised by all. On Reno Hill, the evening after the battle, Major Reno asked Captain Benteen if he wanted to "abandon the wounded and flee with their lives". Aside from Captain Benteen's courage, both of these two officers were everything Custer was not.
I sympathize with the natives of who had to go through this, but we need to focus on the future. We do need to remember history yes, but don't let old or ancient quarrels control you.
This is true, but it is also true that this past affects us today, you took away our economic means of supportive ourselves when you took away the black hills, now we're left begging for handouts while the non-native people blame us for being drunkards and beggers

I was in the 4th Squadron, 7th Cavalry in Korea in 2004-5. in 2024 I was finally able to go to Little Bighorn and pay respects to both the Cavalrymen and the Native American warriors.

Too bad your people lost the land through conquest anyway. Sucks because it destroyed any chance of your people conquering more land.
There were reportedly an estimated 1,100 to 2,500 warriors in the battle, and they were well-armed, many with repeating rifles, while the troopers had single shot rifles. You are right, it was not a circling attack on Custer, as shown, it was first a pursuit on horseback, and then a surround of Custer's remaining group of men who had dismounted. A great victory for the Sioux and Cheyenne.
Where was this filmed? The terrain doesn't match the Little Bighorn at all.

Howling for hair, brothers!
This is not accurate like most of Hollywoods crap about the Indians especially the Sioux. But the book was good. Jack Wilson and Kicking Bear were very interesting and the Wanka Tanka religion was very mysterious and interesting. I'm writing a screenplay treatment called "Buried In The Sky", about a young Comanche women that I call Walking in the Morning. She had her entire village wiped out and her family killed including her 3 month old baby girl. From that moment the story covers her life and how she hated all white people especially men of all races. Until she met this cowboy on the Chisholm Trail. "The People You Love Will Never Die, When The Treasures of Your Heart Are Buried In The Sky". Look for it especially if you are in motion pictures!

The LBH failed because of the treachery of Reno and Benteen with the backing of Grant The Indians left their reservation to follow the warrior way of raiding and were encroaching on Crow land.
LBH failed because a malnourished cavalry regiment attacked a numerically superior, motivated, and in many cases, better equipped enemy, in a piecemeal fashion where the battalions were too far apart to support each other and could be defeated in detail. There was no way they could win that day, but Custer's tactical decisions and Reno's incompetence turned it into a disaster. Benteen was the only reason any of the 7th made it out of that valley.
@@masterz9241 You better start doing your homework. the Indians were there encroaching on Crow land. They left their reservations to raid where a lot a people would have come up dead. The LBH was to be a repeat of the Washita, A four prong assault that was supposed to go in simultaneously. The Indians were taken totally by surprise. It was only Reno's premature attack that alerted them. Why did Reno do this? Think Grant. You do remember Grant holding Custer back from his command until the very last minute? It went further than that. Grant is the elephant in the room that is never discussed.
@@31terikennedy The reasons why the Lakhota were there are irrelevant to my point that Custer and Reno were grossly incompetent.
You're over complicating your analysis. Custer's plan wasn't four-prong, it was hammer-and-anvil. Reno would attack the encampment to draw out the warriors, and then Custer would attack from behind them. Both commanders disregarded their scouts reports of the size of the encampment. Reno attacked prematurely and was overrun before Custer was in position. This left Custer exposed and the Lakhota overran him too. Simple as that.
Grant held back Custer because he knew him from the Civil War and knew he was a reckless commander. Grant's only failure is that he didn't fire him in 1864, not whatever convoluted theory you've cooked up. Custer had full tactical command at LBH. Grant was hundreds of miles away in DC
@@masterz9241 If you did your homework you would know that at the Washita Custer used a four prong assault that went in simultaneously. Benteen was with Custer at the Washita and knew the tactics Custer would use. if you paid attention the Washita tactics were in place at the LBH. Benteen was the Left prong, not on a scout in that direction, Reno was the left center prong who was supposed to wait for the others. Custer went to the right to subdivide into the right center and right prong. All were supposed to go in together. You divide and maneuver on offense to increase the enemy's lines of expectations so he can't concentrate at the point of your attack. You should know that Custer made an attack at the river after Reno was routed and the Indians were pursuing him. You should know Custer wasn't going to Reno because Benteen had his orders to come quick (go to Custer) and bring packs. The river attack was feint to relieve the pressure on Reno/Benteen (2/3s of his men) and that's exactly what happened. Custer then developed a defensive position on Last Stand Hill to wait for Benteen to (come quick). Now, that movement would have been the classic Anvil and Hammer. Custer was that good because he was the best cavalry commander to come out of the Civil War. Because of Custer's congressional testimony, that embarrassed the Grant administration, Grant wanted revenge. Grant held Custer back, until the last moment, so Custer couldn't prepare his men for the campaign. Think Grant's interference with Burnside at the Crater. When the Indians were found, Custer did not want to attack right away even though his Indian scouts advised to do so. Custer then received a report of a lost bread box that Indians found and forced his hand because he might have lost the all important (element of surprise) You do know that Custer saved the day at Gettysburg by defeating JEB Stuart. Custer also forced Lee to surrender at Appomattox when he captured Lee's supply train and Grant was there. Duh!
