It might be of interest to take a look at the recent(?) Smithsonian Magazine article:

How the Little Bighorn was Won that is based on the reports from some 50 or so Indian participants, collected mostly immediately after the battle.

There were NO SURVIVORS on the losing side, so all the numersous analyses and historical "facts" so frequently reported are based on speculations, hallucinations, and plain ol outright lies to save face for the "gallant idiots" on that side.

There have been virtually no "scholarly papers" using what the survivors, who were there, reported as first-person accounts.

It's an interesting account, although it is a fairly long article. (There may be a pdf that you can download for later reading, but pdfs from the site often omit most of the illustrations. I have a pdf version on my computer, with the pictures, but don't recall whether it was a direct download or whether I made it from the html version or scanned it from the magazine. Illustrations are often posted at separate links in a sidebar.)
