American Notes
MONTANA
The Other Side Of the Story
</hdr><body>
<p> To the descendants of the Indians who wiped out George
Custer and his men in 1876, the displays commemorating the
battle of Little Big Horn are gallingly one-sided. In recent
years Indian spokesmen have tried to persuade the Government to
tell more of their side. Newly appointed Custer Battlefield
National Monument superintendent Barbara Booner, the first
Native American to hold the post, may resolve the controversy.
</p>
<p> Booner plans to invite tribal representatives to help
revise the historical information displayed at the battlefield.
Says Booner: "We will concentrate on the balance of the story,
so that both sides are represented."
