Welcome to Crow Country, where every corner of our land holds a story.

Crow Country is more than just a destination –
it’s a journey into a world where history, culture, and nature are deeply intertwined.

The Original Crow Country

Long before borders and roads were marked on maps, the Apsáalooke people called this vast region home.
Our ancestral lands once stretched far within the borders of modern-day Montana and Wyoming,
covering a sweeping expanse of the Northern Plains.

Crow Creation Story

The Crow creation story has been passed down for generations.  View this video produced by the Field Museum with curator, Nina Sanders, for the Apsáalooke: Women and Warriors Exhibit.

From the mighty Bighorn Mountains to the rolling plains, this land provided rich hunting grounds, pristine rivers, and fertile soil for gathering and cultivation.
