Crow People, Wyoming Territory, 1882
01
Artifact Overview
The Apsaalooke (Crow) occupied the game rich lands in the Yellowstone River basin of Wyoming and Montana. By the second half of the 1800s, encroachment by other Native American tribes and the influx of white settlers constricted the size of their traditional hunting grounds. Treaties signed with the U.S. government in 1868 and 1882 ultimately confined the Apsaalooke to a reservation in south central Montana.
