From the Heart of the Crow Country by Joseph Medicine Crow Pdf
The oral historian of the Crow tribe collects stories which introduce the world of the Crow Indians, including its legends, humorous tales, history, and everday life.
First comprehensive and up-to-date history of Crow Tribe. This book, through the experiences of the Crow Nation, relates to all native tribes as it reflects present-day governmental policies still adversely affecting American Indians. An eye opener into what is going on in Indian Country today. Anthological in parts, sprinkled with quotes from many others expressing the suppression, abuse and corruption of the Bureau of Indian Affairs towards American Indians for nearly 200 years, starting out in the War Department. In 1881 Helen Hunt Jackson presented her book, A Century of Dishonor, to all the members of Congress in regard to governmental policies toward indigenous peoples. In 1992-1993 the limited edition of Apsaalooka, the Crow Nation Then and Now, was presented as complimentary copies to all members of Congress, the President and Vice-president, etc. These two books represent 200 years of dishonor. As a result, the authors of Apsaalooka...are now being sought for help in regard to problems of Indians caused by the dominant society. Education and communication, a key to solving problems, is what this book is all about. A collector's book, one of a kind.

First published in 1935, The Crow Indians offers a concise and accessible introduction to the nineteenth-century world of the Crow Indians. Drawing on interviews with Crow elders in the early twentieth century, Robert H. Lowie showcases many facets of Crow life, including ceremonies, religious beliefs, a rich storytelling tradition, everyday life, the ties of kinship and the practice of war, and the relations between men and women. Lowie also tells of memorable individuals, including Gray-bull, the great visionary Medicine-crow, and Yellow-brow, the gifted storyteller. The Crow nation today is vital and active, creatively blending the old and the new. The way of life recounted in these pages provides insight into both the historical foundation and the enduring, vibrant heart of the Crow people in the twenty-first century.
Apsáalooke Women and Warriors by Nina Sanders,University of Chicago. Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society,Dieter Roelstraete Pdf
The Apsáalooke people, also known as the Crow, are noted for their bravery and artistry, twin pillars of a centuries-old culture rooted in the landscape of the Northern Plains. This book, published in conjunction with a multi-site exhibition jointly organized by the Field Museum and the Neubauer Collegium at the University of Chicago, offers a rich narrative of the Apsáalooke paste with a keen eye on issues that concern present-day Apsáalooke identity. Apsáalooke Women and Warriors features contributions by contemporary Apsáalooke artists, intellectuals, and writers. Together, they constitute a major statement on the cosmologies, iconographies, and lifeways of the Apsáalooke people past, present--and, above all--future.
Presents the story of Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation. This title contains a philosophical and ethical inquiry into a people faced with the end of their way of life.
The People and Culture of the Crow by Raymond Bial Pdf
The history of Native Americans in North America stretches millennia. One Native group that evolved from one of the first tribes is the Crow. This group traveled the migration routes of the buffalo in the Plains. They made peace with some tribes and war with others. The men and women of the Crow Nation today celebrate their heritage and history.
For nearly ten years between 1907 and 1931, anthropologist Robert H. Lowie lived among the Crow Indians, listening to the old men and women tell of times gone forever. Lowie learned much about what had been, and still was, a society remarkable for its variability and cohesion, and for its resistance to the encroachments of white civilization. Written with clarity and vigor, Lowie's study makes instantly accessible what had taken him years to discover. He sacrificed neither personal sensitivity nor narrative skill to scientific scruples, but brought his scientific work to life. Crow religion, ceremonies, taboos, kinship bonds, tribal organization, division of labor, codes of honor, and rites of courtship and wedlock receive their due. The Crow Indians is a masterpiece of ethnography, foremost for Lowie's portrayal of the different personalities he encountered: Gray-bull and his marital troubles; the great visionary Medicine-crow; Yellow-brow, the gifted storyteller; and many more.
