Dr. Strange, Indians from the camp did escape but I do not believe they did so and warned the other villages down stream too. If i remember correctly, the sounds of massive gun firing was sufficient enough for the other camps to respond to ascertain what was going on!
after a total defeat of Black kettle's camp but prior to Custer's clean up and departure, hundreds of warriors from the lower camps arrived some of whom destroyed Elliot and company.
I believe that the solitary reason these warriors did not attack were their unwillingness to jeopardize the captives. Custer has received much credit for his "fake" thrust toward the warriors who then fell back;again because of the captives.
