Who was responsible for the Battle of Little Bighorn?

The Battle of Little Bighorn, known as the most sizable victory won by Native Americans. This battle dates back to 1876 and is commonly referred to as "Custer's Last Stand". This battle occurred between the northern Native American tribes and U.S calvary. In the battle of Little Bighorn, the U.S was heavily outnumbered.  They only carried a few hundred men oppose to over two-thousand Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. The humble U.S army was led by Lt. General George Custer. Unfortunately, Custer's men were overwhelmed by the colossal Native American force and were all killed. Looking back at this battle, the big question people have is who was responsible for the Batlle of Little Bighorn?  It may seem like it was the Native Americans fault because they were more prepared in numbers, and they slaughtered Custer's men viciously. Wrong. It was the nosy Americans encroaching on the Native American's land, not following treaties or having any regard to the Native American's wishes in terms of land. 

In this battle, the U.S Amry was on the attack in attempt to force the Native Americans back on their reservation. The reservation was a piece of land reserved by the U.S for the Native Americans. The Native Americans obviously had no say too where this land was as this was the typical mistreatment they received from the U.S. The Native Americans had finally had enough, eventually fighting back against the U.S. This caused the American-Indian wars prior to Little Bighorn. There is no way someone could argue that the Native Americans fault. For instance, how would you like it if someone walked in your home and said  "This is mine now". Any normal person would not be ok with this. Exactly the scenario here. The greedy Americans take over the Native Amerian's land with no questions asked. The Native Americans are simply protecting their sacred homeland and are done taking the crab from the Americans. 

The battle of Little Bighorn will always be remembered for the Native Americans painless victory over the Americans. When remembering this battle, there should be no sympathy for Custer's army as the U.S was responsible for this battle because they were the aggressors in this battle and the whole war. The Native Americans in no way should be held accountable for simply defending themselves and whats theirs.
