I posted the below at the American Tribes site but figured it might be helpful here also.
Hopefully this is the correct place for this. The URL below is a report from Capt. Frederick D. Grant, a.d.c. to Gen. Sheridan, dated Sept. 5, 1876 detailing his observations of the Brule, Cheyenne River, and Standing Rock Agencies. For the Cheyenne River Agency, it lists many warriors who had returned from the hostile camps and for some, what weapons they surrendered. At least two are indicated to have been wounded at the Custer fight.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone. The source is National Archives Records Administration series M1495, 'Special Files' of Headquarters, Division of the Missouri, Relating to Military Operations and Administration, 1863-1885.
The file is in PDF format and the URL is:
