{{expand section|date=May 2014}}
The Northern Cheyenne fought in the [[Battle of the Little Bighorn]], which took place on June 25, 1876. The Cheyenne, together with the Lakota, other Sioux warriors and a small band of [[Arapaho]], killed General [[George Armstrong Custer]] and much of his 7th Cavalry contingent of soldiers. Historians have estimated that the population of the Cheyenne, Lakota and Arapaho encampment along the [[Little Bighorn River]] was approximately 10,000, making it one of the largest gatherings of Native Americans in North America in pre-reservation times. News of the event traveled across the United States and reached [[Washington, D.C.]], just as the nation was celebrating its [[Centennial]]. Public reaction arose in outrage against the Cheyenne.
