What does Custer paint as the true picture of the Indian?

In his writings, General George Armstrong Custer often depicted Native Americans as savage and uncivilized, portraying them as obstacles to American expansion and progress. He painted a picture of Indigenous peoples as inherently violent and in need of suppression or elimination. Custer's biased and prejudiced views perpetuated harmful stereotypes and contributed to the justification of the violent and oppressive treatment of Native American tribes during the westward expansion of the United States.
