1877 CE

The Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne had achieved a major victory over U.S. army forces under Colonel George A. Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in the Crow Indian Reservation on June 25, 1876, but the Great Sioux War (1876–1877) ends in the defeat of the Sioux and their Cheyenne allies.

Crow warriors had enlisted with the U.S. Army for this war.

The Sioux and allies are forced from eastern Montana and Wyoming: some bands flee to Canada, while others suffer forced removal to distant reservations, primarily in present-day Montana and Nebraska west of the Missouri River.
