Official reports after the battle listed 262 dead on the US cavalry side, including 5 civilians and 3 enlisted native scouts. The number of native scouts killed has been challenged and may be wildly incorrect. 52 soldiers were wounded (among Reno's command), total 314 casualties.
On the other side, Chief Red Horse stated that 136 natives were killed and 160 wounded (giving a total of 296 casualties) but these figures have also been challenged and may be inaccurate. One source claims that just 36 named individuals were killed - but the Indians did not keep statistical records and both figures are unreliable.
