On this day, 8 August 1879, Emiliano Zapata, indigenous revolutionary and leading figure of the peasant army which helped overthrow Porfirio Diaz in the 1910 Mexican revolution, was born. Of Nahua and Spanish descent, he organised alongside local Indigenous communities to fight against land seizures by wealthy hacienda owners, and occupy seized land. With the outbreak of revolution, he led a revolutionary militia, took part in many battles, and under the slogan “Tierra y Libertad” (“Land and Liberty”) kept fighting for the original goals of the revolution, most crucially land redistribution. After Zapata was assassinated, his followers kept up the struggle, and today, after an uprising in the 1990s, modern day Indigenous Zapatistas control a sizeable autonomous territory in Chiapas.

On this day, 25 June 1876, the Battle of the Little Bighorn began when a combined force of Lakota, Arapaho and Northern Cheyenne tribes routed Lt Col Custer’s army, killing Custer in the process. It was the biggest engagement of the Great Sioux War of 1876, during which the US military was attempting to force Native Americans from their land into reservations in order to mine newly-discovered gold in the Black Hills. Between 25 and 26 June, Native American warriors fought the 700-strong US 7th Cavalry, destroying five of its 12 companies, and killing its commanding officer, George Armstrong Custer, along with four of his relatives.
