Last Stand at Little Big Horn
VHS, 60 min., 1992
This film combines the talents of Native American novelist James Welch, and white filmmaker Paul Steckler to examine the famous battle known as "Custer's Last Stand." Using journals, oral accounts, and Indian ledgers, two perspectives are taken into consideration: that of the Indians who lived on the Great Plains; and that of the white settlers who pushed west across the continent.
