A DAY AT THE LITTLE BIGHORN
(10am - 5pm)
(10am - 5pm)Do you want to know the truth of what happened at the Little Bighorn? Move in the participant’s footsteps, cut through myths, and touch both military and Indian perspectives to understand the most famous battle in Western history.
Come with us inside the village site along the Little Bighorn River and experience the Lakota and Cheyenne perspectives, standing where Crazy Horse crossed the Little Bighorn River to meet Custer’s 7th, and then following the battle as it unfolded. We follow the story across the battlefield, learning not only of the fate of those who fought for their respective nations, but the lasting results of the battle into modern day times for the Lakota and Cheyenne peoples. This day you go beyond the stock offerings of military historians whose versions of events show they have probably never experienced the actual terrain for themselves.
- Starting point: The Museum at Garryowen, MT (4 miles from the NPS)
- Starting time: 10am
- Your guide is 'step-on' - he will ride with you in your vehicle.
- Cost: $550 for up to 4 people
For a more comprehensive understanding of the events that led to the Battle at the Little Bighorn, consider extending your time in the area and book for the Rosebud Battlefield and/or the Deer Medicine Rocks.
RIDE THE BATTLEFIELD (3 hour ride)
Follow Crazy Horse and Custer, White Bull and White-Man-Runs-Him, across the hallowed ground between the National Park Service boundaries at the Reno-Benteen Battlefield and Calhoun Hill. You will experience Weir Point on the ride from Cedar Coulee into Medicine Tail Coulee, before descending to the Little Bighorn River, which you will cross at the ford.
Ride through the Oglala and Cheyenne village area, and then re-cross the Little Bighorn, tracing Crazy Horse’s movements as he led his men up Deep Coulee towards Calhoun Hill.
Do not miss this historic opportunity; stare out across this sacred land and truly see the terrain as the warriors and troopers saw it on that legendary June day - Custer, Sitting Bull and the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
You don't need to be an experienced rider to head back to June 25, 1876 – but remember to bring water, and to follow the advice of your guides/wranglers to the letter. The Real Bird wranglers are as skilled horsemen as you will ever find, so who better to ride with you across the Little Bighorn Battlefield.
- Arrive at the ranch at 9am, or 4pm to meet your wrangler and horse (full directions emailed to you.)
- You don't need to be experienced on horseback to participate, but please be aware that although these horses are well trained and responsive, this is NOT nose-to-tail trail riding. Children under 14 not recommended unless they are experienced riders.
- Cost $120 per person
Please understand that these are totally separate activities. The ride does not feature historical guiding other than features / landmarks being pointed out to you.

What an incredible day we had with Serle at the battlefield tour. Tour is really not the right word to use to describe the experience. We were very fortunate to have met Serle and the participants of the battle, especially since that was our first time in that part of the country. I had a different “sense” of the earth we are on. I had an inspired respect for the area where we went horseback riding. The country is so vast and so special.

"I can suggest only one place to contact for incredible tours of the American Indian lands and peoples:
Go Native America. They have the best tours of the American West and Indian country. Period."
Bob Reece, Friends of the Little Bighorn Battlefield
Again, it was an absolutely an incredible opportunity to spend that afternoon with Serle.
I can still see some of the chiefs in those hills. It felt like he was an actual participant in the battle who came back to share with us some of the details of the day. Please thank Serle again for us.

The sights, sounds, smells and sheer wonderment at the beauty of all directions has been with us ever since our return. Not a day goes by without our talking of some aspect of our adventure, and at night I am transported to those stunning plains and mountains, and the people we met. Gretchen, North Wales

If you look at the earth, there are certain places that seem to have power and we don't know what kind of power it is, except you have a different feeling, You feel energized... For most Americans, the Holy Land exists on another continent. But for Native people,
the holy land is here.
