THE PEOPLE
About 50 percent of the Crow tribe's approximately 14,000 or more enrolled members live on or near the reservation. Eighty-five percent speak Crow as their first language (this is no longer accurate. I will get that number for you). This tribe was called "Apsáalooke," which means "children of the large-beaked bird." White men later misinterpreted the word as "crow." Chief Plenty Coups was the last chief to gain that status in the traditional Crow manner. He lived until 1932, leaving his land and home as a park for all people.
