Abstract
This book contains a discussion on the persistence of the Crow as a culturally distinct people in the face two centuries of rapid economic changes and a series of government intervention programs that promoted assimilation. At the end of that period comes the author's observation of a parade of Crow warriors with splendid traditional costumes and uniforms. While recognizing the effects of external forces such as government policies of privatization of land, relocation to reservations, boarding schools, and limited welfare services, the author underscores the agency of the Crow people themselves in shaping their course in history. The leadership role of successive Crow chiefs is highlighted.
