The final remains of a Northern Cheyenne warrior who fought at the Battle of Little Bighorn were reburied in Montana over the weekend.

Black Horse died in 1936 and was buried in Lame Deer. But some of his leg bones were in the custody of the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, D.C. Doctors there had removed them in 1879.

Black Horse was the great-grandfather of Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.)
