Abstract

This volume is not simply a review of Crow lifeways, but it also provides a history of the group from its first contact with Euro-Americans to the present day. White actions, so consistently at odds with Indian self-determination, are neither condoned nor scourged but are viewed within the framework of government and private Indian policy, the actions of wellmeaning as well as greedy individuals, and the often diametrically opposed world views of the Crows and the whites.
