The Battle of Little Bighorn was the key battle of the Great Sioux War of 1876 - and a decisive victory for the Indians led by Sitting Bull. Which of these tribes was NOT part of the alliance of Plains Indians who fought at Little Bighorn?

Known among Native Americans as the Battle of the Greasy Grass, the Battle of Little Bighorn was a crushing defeat for Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry under his charge. Ignoring the urgent warnings from Crow scouts about the vast number of Plains Indian warriors assembling nearby, Custer determined that 600 soldiers would be adequate. The U.S. troops were met by as many as 3,000 Native Americans. Custer and all 200 men in his battalion were killed; of the Cavalry's 15 companies, 12 were wiped out entirely.
