Talk:Crow people

message: For a people with such a storied history almost none is given here. I think the article would be greatly improved if someone with some knowledge of Crow history were to edit the page. I would but I am woefully ignorant of the subject (which is how I found my way here in the first place.
I will have to get my sources together and add some history of their long wars with the Lakota and shorter wars with others and their alliance with the U.S. cavalry. "They moved west" is a very dry summary of what actually happened. 65.79.173.135 (talk) 20:37, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I had an anthropology professor (cited in the page: Rodney Frey), an "honorary Crow member" who stated d
that the Crow were polygynous prior to colonization.  While I could see that, theoretically, a polygynous culture could be matriarchal, could they be matrilineal? -- Juniorvarsity
:Yes, they were polygynous. All information points to them being matrilineal. The Blackfoot were also polygynous. However, the Blackfoot were multilineal. -- WiccaIrish 00:01, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The Crow article claims that a woman chief invented the buffalo jump in the 1500s, but the link to the definition of buffalo jump says that this practice became prevalent in 100 ad, before the advent of the bow and arrow.

message: I've reverted these edits by User:MountainCrow1 because of the lack of punctuation in the first sentence, the strange word "biishtaasheelaa" and the "kick-in-the-bellies" part of the tribe but on further investigation the latter doesn't seem too incorrect. I'm not knowledgeable of the subject and hope that someone better informed can take a closer look and revise if necessary. Sciurinæ (talk) 16:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism? 

message: Is there anymore information on why the Crow nation seemed to provide so many US cavalry scouts. Did the crow have many major fights with white settlers as they never seem to be mentioned in histories compared to other tribes/nations like the Lakota or Arapahoe.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.86.71.241 (talk) 14:51, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Crows provided scouts to the U.S. army because they found their land invaded by their enemies in the Lakota tribe. All major fights between the Lakota and the U.S. army were fought on battlefields located in Crow Indian treaty guaranteed territory according to the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1851). If you mark where fights like the Fetterman Fight, Wagon Box Fight, Hayfield Fight, Battle of the Rosebud, Battle of the Little Bighorn were fought, then you will find them located in 1851 Crow Indian treaty territory - not in 1851 Lakota Indian treaty territory. "The Sioux wants to get our country, but we will not let them have it", said Crow chief Blackfoot after a fight with the Sioux on Pryor Creek in the Crow Indian Reservation in 1873. The whites had no monopoly on taking land from the Indians. By providing scouts to the army, the Crows hoped to stop the advancing Lakotas. Like a number of other tribes (the Ponca, the Hidatsa, the Pawnee, the Flathead, the Assiniboine, the Gros Ventre of the Plains or the Atsina and the Omaha just to give some), the Crow tribe can't tell of many (if any) fights with settlers or the U.S. army. Injustices - sure, but nothing like Sand Creek. Naawada2016 (talk) 15:56, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Role In Indian Wars 

message: I feel there should be a mention of Liver Eatin' Johnson.  Even if his defeat of the 20 bravest and skilled warriors in the Crow nation was untrue, the legend lives on.  The movie "Jeremiah Johnson" isn't mentioned and it should be.  The book "Crow Killer" should also be mentioned, can "Depiak Absaroka" be forgotten?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.160.97.160 (talk) 04:21, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Johnson? 

message: "The Apsaalooke are also referred to as the Crow, which the white people introduced because of their lack of perfect communication. The bird that the Crow tribe is actually paired with is the raven, which is not widely known."
I don't think this is accurate. Crows and Ravens are the same bird - just like the puma and mountain lion are the same animal. I also think "the white people" isn't a particularly good term to use either. Just wanted to make sure before I made any changes. Eruptflail (talk) 05:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The American Crow and Common Raven are different species. But since that sentence you're referring to doesn't have a citation within a mile of it, I'd say do with it what you want. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 16:36, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Great photo to spotlight! One problem I see is that it's highly unlikely that it was taken in July 1908, so that might want to be looked into.  I will if I have time.--KingJeff1970 (talk) 21:50, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

message: By my count there are approximately 17 pictures in the article that depict people in photographs or drawings, and there is a total of about 100 people shown in those pictures. All of them appear to be men. Not just the Crow, but the non-Crow people too they are all men. What's up with that? My calculator tells me that the chance that 100 people chosen at random will all be men is about 1 out of 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376. That's a very small number. —BarrelProof (talk) 11:25, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: "Pauline Small on horseback..." is one image of a woman. But feel free to find and add photos of Crow Tribe women and contemporary people as well. Yuchitown (talk) 16:08, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, but she is so small in that picture that no one could tell tell she's a woman unless they read the caption. I see that you moved that picture to the top. I guess that improves the man/woman balance slightly, but I'm not sure it is the best choice for the picture at the top, since the picture that was there before seemed better at showing the distinctiveness of the Crow people. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:23, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

text: BTW, I believe the probability that 100 randomly chosen people will include only 1 or fewer women is about 101 out of 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376, or 1 out of 12,550,996,041,863,657,440,561,417,875. That's still a very small number. —BarrelProof (talk) 15:44, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
