From there, in 1927, they watched as their holy mountain, now located on land known as South Dakota, was desecrated and dynamited to honor their colonizers, four white men—two of whom enslaved people and all of whom were hostile to Indigenous people and values.

@MarkRuffalo Another good book on this topic is "A Terrible Glory Custer and the Little Bighorn the Last Great Battle of the American West" by James Donovan.

"... and account of the battle that marked the Native Americans' final triumph in the Sioux War of 1876 ..."

But this book is more than about Custer and the Little Big Horn battle. It starts with initial conflicts with the colonists and goes through Wounded Knee.
