- NATION, Page 65American NotesMONTANAThe Other Side Of the Story
-
-
- To the descendants of the Indians who wiped out George
- Custer and his men in 1876, the displays commemorating the
- battle of Little Big Horn are gallingly one-sided. In recent
- years Indian spokesmen have tried to persuade the Government to
- tell more of their side. Newly appointed Custer Battlefield
- National Monument superintendent Barbara Booner, the first
- Native American to hold the post, may resolve the controversy.
-
- Booner plans to invite tribal representatives to help
- revise the historical information displayed at the battlefield.
- Says Booner: "We will concentrate on the balance of the story,
- so that both sides are represented."
