If you’re looking for a cultural tour of aboriginal peoples in the United States, Montana should certainly be high on you list of vacation spots. Among the Montana tribes you may want to see are the Crow.
The Crow reservation is located near the southeast corner of Montana, not to far from Billings, Yellowstone National Park and Red Lodge ski resort.
The Crow are considered to be the first of the eastern U.S. tribes to move into Montana, after Europeans displaced what had been a Great Lakes region tribe. They are believed to have entered Montana in the early 1600s.
Each year, the Crow hold a summer Native Days festival, where you can see tribal dances, games and clothing, learn about Crow traditions, and hear live music. For 2010 the festival takes place June 24 to 27.

To the southwest, you’ll see Red Lodge ski resort. Continuing southwest, you’ll find the Cooke City and Gardiner, Montana entrances to Yellowstone.
