The intent to commit genocide at Washita is hidden in plain view, unless key elements are brought together. These are: that the Cheyenne were placed on land where they would starve while promises to avert starvation were broken; that George Bent observed how Civil War soldiers did not harm white women and children by a "code of honor," while Indian women and children were slaughtered; that Sheridan declared "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead;" and that the War Department did not differentiate between peaceful and warring Indians. Hence, the orders "to kill or hang all warriors." As the consequence, the intent was to kill all men
of a specific race.

Custer rides again, although he's atop a plastic motorcycle and in a McDonald's Happy Meal box.

Rape Denial of the SD Attorney General & Custer

Amnesty International conducted detailed research in three locations with different policing and judicial arrangements...: the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North and South Dakota, the State of Oklahoma and the State of Alaska.

- snip -

It (sexual violence) has been compounded by the federal government's steady erosion of tribal government authority and its chronic under-resourcing of those law enforcement agencies and service providers...

- snip -

Some of the data...suggests that a high number of perpetrators of sexual violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women are non-Indian...It appears that Indigenous women in the USA may be targeted for acts of violence and denied access to justice on the basis of their gender and Indigenous identity.

Now why did"the South Dakota attorney general and researchers at the University of South Dakota challenge(d) that conclusion?"

Was losing Major Elliot's strategic location during the extermination of the Southern Cheyenne Arapaho at Washita by Lieutenant Colonel Custer acceptable by U.S. military standards? Captain Benteen thought not.

"Surely some search will be made for our missing comrades" mocked Benteen's piece, before concluding, "No, they are forgotten."

Custer picked the wrong man to threaten horsewhipping.
