The warrior who destroyed Custer and the 7th Cavalry at the Battle of Little Bighorn was killed in a Indian Police raid* on 15 December 1890. The Indian Agents felt that Sitting Bull was fomenting disquiet by encouraging the revival of the "Ghost Dance." They went to arrest him, but things got out of hand and he was shot and killed during the raid.
