Battle of the Little Bighorn reenactment Battle of the Little Bighorn reenactment Battle of the Little Bighorn Reenactment is a reenactment of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Since the 1990s there have been two events conducted annually close to the anniversary of the battle in late June, although in 2015 only one event has been scheduled to take place. The Real Bird family has conducted the "Battle of Little Bighorn Reenactment" since 1995 on the banks of the Little Bighorn River off East Frontage Road between Crow Agency and Garryowen, Montana. The site of the reenactment is on the edge of the Little Bighorn river
Little Bighorn River turn, would wet moccasins and leggings of Indian people, and the bellies and legs of horses, and cause them to look greasy. On the main stream, the name Greasy Grass slowly gave way to the name Little Bighorn. For one major tributary of the Little Bighorn, the (presently named) Lodge Grass Creek retained the name "Greasy Grass Creek", but as Joe Medicine Crow explained in the 2012 video, this name morphed from "Greasy Grass" to "Lodge Grass" due to the error of an interpreter since the Crow word for "greasy" is Tah-shay, and the Crow word for "lodge" is Ah-shay.
