The Real Bird family has conducted the Battle of Little Bighorn Reenactment since 1995 on the banks of the Little Bighorn River off East Frontage Road between Crow Agency and Garryowen, Montana. The site of the reenactment is on the edge of the Little Bighorn river opposite from Medicine Tail Coulee, where fighting may have taken place.[2]

The Hardin Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture has annually conducted the Custer's Last Stand Reenactment performed 6 miles outside of Hardin, Montana on Old U.S. Highway 87. Joe Medicine Crow wrote the script for the narrative in 1965, which recounts the significant events leading up to the battle. Although the reenactment has been held annually since the early 1990s, the 2015 event has been canceled due to costs.[3]
