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."
