What Is the Crow Nation?
The Crow Nation is a Native American tribe classified as a Plains Indian tribe. Their name, pronounced Absaroka or Apsaalooke in their native tongue, means people of the large beaked bird. To the white settlers, this description sounded like a crow, and the tribe eventually adopted that term as their legal title. The majority of the Crow live on a large reservation in the state of Montana. Unlike many tribes who have lost their native tongue, Crow is still the first language taught to most children living on the reservation.
