In June 1876, during the Battle of the Rosebud, a young Northern Cheyenne woman named Buffalo Calf Road Woman rode directly into gunfire after seeing her brother, Comes in Sight, thrown from his horse and surrounded by soldiers. With bullets flying around her, she pulled him onto her horse and carried him to safety. Her bravery inspired Cheyenne warriors to regroup and push back against U.S. forces in a battle the Cheyenne later called “The Fight Where the Girl Saved Her Brother.”
Just eight days later, she rode into battle again at Little Bighorn.
According to Cheyenne oral history passed down through generations, Buffalo Calf Road Woman struck the blow that knocked General George Armstrong Custer from his horse during the chaos of the fight. Many Cheyenne families and historians continue to honor this account, even though official Army reports and many early historical writings ignored or dismissed Indigenous testimonies, especially those involving women warriors.
For decades, mainstream history largely erased her role. But among the Cheyenne, her courage was never forgotten. Songs, stories, and oral traditions preserved the memory of a woman who fought not only to protect her family and people, but also against the forces trying to erase Indigenous identity and resistance from history itself.
After the Plains Wars, Buffalo Calf Road Woman and her family were forced onto reservations alongside thousands of other Native people displaced by U.S. expansion. She died young, likely in her thirties, but her legacy endured through the stories her people continued to carry forward.
Today, Buffalo Calf Road Woman is remembered as one of the great Indigenous women warriors of the Plains. Her story stands as a reminder that many Native women played critical roles in history, even when official records chose not to acknowledge them.
