The video covers a wide range of tribal history and contemporary issues. It does an extraordinary job of exploring individual lives and feelings about being Crow. Photo by Dennis Sanders Robert Yellowtail, the focus of the video. The text below comes from that web site.

The Crow Indians live on a reservation near Billings, Montana. The ironic thing about this reservation is that more than half of the land on it is leased by non-Indians. The culture of the Crow was essentially turned inside out by laws forced on them by the government. They were forced to speak English, converted to Christianity, prohibited from hunting, forced to farm, and couldn't even travel off the reservation land without permission. Every single treaty or agreement initially made between the Crows and the US government was violated and ignored, as more and more of their cultural and human rights have been restricted and taken away.
