   The victors that day, the Lakota, have numerous artifacts from the 7th Cavalry   
   which have   
   been passed down from generation to generation. There is a current thought in   
   tribal   
   circles which would like to return all the things kept from that day to the   
   descendants of   
   those who fell there. They feel that the severe social and economic   
   difficulties they have   
   faced since 1876 are traceable to the tribes' disobedience of Sitting Bull's   
   warning when   
   he prophecied their victory over the Bluecoats prior to the Little Bighorn. He   
   told them   
   that no one was to take any property belonging to their enemy combatants but   
   to find   
   sufficient satisfaction in the victory alone, or else a curse would come upon   
   them   
   collectively.   
      
   I thought everyone might find that interesting.
