From a website visitor: What role did he play in the battle of the Little Big Horn particularly and in guiding his nation in general? |

It is a hard task to make a statement about Red Cloud in a few words. He was a too important man for the Oglala Sioux.
You better read some of these books to get a full view of his leading abilities:
George Hyde: Red Cloud´s Folk
Robert Larson: Red Cloud, Warrior-Statesman of the Lakota Sioux
James Olson: Red Cloud and the Sioux Problem
Eli Paul: Autobiography of Red Cloud
Frank Goodyear: Photographs of a Lakota Chief
etc.
Regarding the LBH battle: Red Cloud was not there, he was at the agency. Only his son Jack was with the so-called hostile Indians.
