Trump flags for removal at national parks: signage about broken promises to Native Americans and boarding school horrors

BIG HORN COUNTY — The Trump administration has flagged two exhibits at Montana's Little Bighorn National Monument as non-compliant, targeting displays that honor tribal sacrifices and reflect on the historic battle known as Custer's Last Stand.

The order follows President Trump's promise to restore "truth and sanity to American history," but critics view it as an attempt to silence important Indigenous perspectives from the nation's historical narrative.

The Trump administration's move targets signage describing broken promises to Native American tribes and references to the loss of Indigenous culture and language under boarding school systems.

"It bothers me really deeply," Cachora said.

She calls the action an attempt to erase Native history.

"It's disturbing, disgusting, and wrong. You should not erase other people's history because it makes you uncomfortable," Cachora said.
