The lead section provides concise information about the national monument and does not go into overly precise detail about the monument or its history. The content of the article covers the history of the monument although it could perhaps be improved with a bit more background surrounding the actual battle of Little Bighorn. It does talk about the markers honouring the Indians that also fought in the battle which means that it provides an overview that is not excluding a main group in the event. There is a neutral tone in the article which ensures that there is no one side of a point being argued and no biased claims based on opinion. The content provided is purely coming across as facts and neutral information about the monument. Although the Indians are mentioned I think there should be a bit more information about their impact and representation on the monument.

The link for footnote 3 does not work and not all information is linked to a source like where the quote from Sanderson. The organisation of this article is good and the writing flows nicely and is easy to read. It is clear and concise with not rambling about a fact or topic. The images used are all relevant and are clearly labeled. The talk section was mostly minor edits with a few sources needing to be under review. It also looks like it was added to a wikiproject in the past.

Overall I think the article is good and covers main areas of the topic in clear and concise detail. To improve the article I think the sources and links need to be improved as well as increasing the amount of information there is on the side of the Indian's who were involved in this event.
