Red Horse's first-hand account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, captured in 42 ledger drawings, offers a unique Native American perspective on this pivotal event.
Originally collected by the Smithsonian in 1881, Red Horse's artwork and narrative highlight the importance of Native American documentation of historical battles and their meanings.
The rediscovery of Red Horse's drawings in 2016 emphasizes the significance of preserving indigenous narratives and reassessing overlooked historical artifacts.
The publication of Red Horse's account in 1893 was largely inaccessible to the public, exemplifying the challenges of sharing Native American histories.
