Summary

Description
English: Sign left by the Lakota (Dakota) Indians during the Great Sioux War in 1876. Arikara Indian scouts with the U.S. Army thought the skull of the Buffalo bull represented the Lakotas and the smaller skull of the Buffalo cow designated the U.S. Army. The sign was found just a short time before the battle of the Little Bighorn River. Sign likely reconstructed in 1912, when Orin G. Libby secured the Arikara narrative of the 1876 campaign
