Little Bighorn at 150: Native Nations and the Fate of the American West

Fought 150 years ago, the Battle of Little Bighorn was a defining episode in the intensifying conflict between Native nations defending their homelands and the United States’ drive for westward expansion. Historians Ned Blackhawk, the Howard R. Lamar Professor of History at Yale University, and Richard White, the Margaret Byrne Professor of American History at Stanford University, examine the events that led to the battle, its place in the broader history of Native Americans, and how its consequences shaped the fate of the American West during the Gilded Age and beyond. Tom Donnelly, lead scholar at the National Constitution Center, moderates.
