As thousands gather on the Montana plains to honor the warriors of 1876, follow Buffalo’s Fire for real-time, on-the-ground coverage of the memorial horse rides, historic encampments and ceremonies
Four groups of 40-plus horse riders are making their way along Highway 212 to Greasy Grass Battlefield from the Cheyenne River Reservation. Groups include Pejito Wakpa Riders (Green Grass), Wakinyan Wakpa Youth Riders, Santee Riders and Prayer Horse Riders out of Nevada (Pauite). Today they ride from Alzada, Montana, to Hammond, Montana, and they crossed the Montana state line this afternoon.
