The Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians was fought at Custer Battlefield National Monument on June 25 and 26, 1876. Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer and about 268 of his forces were killed. The national monument occupies acres (all federal) in south-central Montana. It consists of two separate parcels.
