After the death of Crazy Horse, the Oglalas were trapped on the reservation , surrounded by a growing, dominant, white man’s world. Young Man Afraid sought ways for his people to adapt peacefully to the changing world of the reservation rather than trying to restore the grandeur of the old life through obstructionist politics.

    LITTLE BIGHORN NATIONAL MONUMENT TEACHER’S GUIDE TEACHER’S GUIDE LITTLE BIGHORN NATIONAL MONUMENT INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Teacher’s Guide is to provide teachers grades K-12 information and activities concerning Plains Indian Life-ways, the events surrounding the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Personalities involved and the Impact of the Battle. The information provided can be modified to fit most ages. Unit One: PERSONALITIES Unit Two: PLAINS INDIAN LIFE-WAYS Unit Three: CLASH OF CULTURES Unit Four: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 Unit Five: BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN Unit Six: IMPACT OF THE BATTLE In 1879 the land where The Battle of the Little Bighorn occurred was designated Custer Battlefield National Cemetery in order to protect the bodies of the men buried on the field of battle. With this designation, the land fell under the control of the United States War Department. It would remain under their control until 1940, when the land was turned over to the National Park Service. Custer Battlefield National Monument was established by Congress in 1946. The name was changed to Little Bighorn National Monument in 1991. This area was once the homeland of the Crow Indians who by the 1870s had been displaced by the Lakota and Cheyenne. The park consists of 765 acres on the east boundary of the Little Bighorn River: the larger north- ern section is known as Custer Battlefield, the smaller Reno-Benteen Battlefield is located on the bluffs over-looking the river five miles to the south. The park lies within the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, one mile east of I-90.

    BRF PUBLIC SCHOOLS HISTORY CURRICULUM RELATED TO AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES GRADES 8-12 COMPONENT The following materials represent ongoing work related to the infusion of American Indian history into the History curriculum of the Black River Falls Public Schools. Our efforts in this area have been ongoing for over 20 years and reflect the spirit of Wisconsin Act 31. SEPTEMBER 2011 UPDATE Paul S Rykken Michael Shepard US History and Politics US History BRFHS BRF Middle School Infusion Applications 1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Infusion Task Force was established in December of 2009 for the purpose of improving our efforts regarding the infusion of American Indian history and cultural awareness throughout the BRF Public School K-12 Social Studies Curriculum. This action occurred within the context of several other factors, including the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ho-chunk Nation and the School District and the establishment of a Ho-chunk language offering at BRFHS. Our infusion efforts go back to the early 1990s and were originally spurred by the Wisconsin Legislature’s passage of Act 31 related to the teaching of Native American history and culture within Wisconsin’s public schools. The following link will take you to a paper that more fully explains our approach since the early 1990s: http://www.brf.org/sites/default/files/users/u123/InfusionUpdate09.pdf THE 8-12 COMPONENT As with any curriculum-related project, what follows is not the final word. We do our work in an ever- changing environment. The lessons and information included here, however, reflect the most recent (and complete) record of what we are doing within our 8-12 curriculum.

Garnett's first-hand account of Crazy Horse's surrender alludes to Larrabee as the "half blood woman" who caused Crazy Horse to fall into a "domestic trap which insensibly led him by gradual steps to his destruction.

Little Big Man said that in the hours immediately following Crazy Horse's wounding, the camp commander had suggested the story of the guard being responsible to hide Little Big Man's role in the death of Crazy Horse and avoid any inter-clan reprisals. It goes roughly like this—Reno attacked and was driven away. His personal courage was attested to by several eye-witness Indian accounts. I found Garnett a fascinating figure from the moment I first learned of him—he was young only twenty-two when the chief was killed , he was in the very middle of events interpreting the words of the chiefs and Army officers, and he recorded things that others tried to hide or deny.
