As news reaches the world of the Battle of Little Big Horn in June, 1876, RTL appears as two frontier women with strong tribal roots musing over the relationship between settlers and the tribes being displaced. Drawing on conversations with Custer's surviving Crow scouts (Goes Ahead, Hairy Moccasin, Curly, Yellow Face, White Swan, and White Man Runs Him), the women tell the story of the battle from the natives' perspective -- as it might have been told before the widow Libby Custer turned her late husband into a national icon.

At the trading post we offer for sale items of our own making as well as those made by native artisans across the country. We teach children's games, various crafts and demonstrate some of the skills needed to walk a mile in another man's moccasins. We talk about tribal laws, social structure, spiritual beliefs and medicine. Much of Indian culture has been lost, deliberately destroyed by the invading Europeans, but enough remains to present to a classroom or at a living history event.
