Today marks the 149th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn — June 25, 1876 — one of the most defining and tragic moments in U.S. history. I’ve visited this sacred ground three times, and each time, I’m reminded that history isn’t just learned, it’s felt.

In this video, I share my personal journey and powerful reflections from the Little Bighorn Battlefield in southeastern Montana — where Custer and over 220 men of the 7th Cavalry fell, and where Native warriors of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho stood their ground with courage and conviction.

The silence of the open prairie, the markers on Last Stand Hill, and the dual memorials all tell a story that still echoes today.
