Native American Crow Indians Warriors, 1830s
The Crow are Native Americans, who in historical times lived in the Yellowstone River valley. Pressured by the Iron Confederacy, who had earlier and better access to guns through the fur trade, the Crow had migrated to this area from the Ohio Eastern Woodland area of present-day Ohio, settling south of Lake Winnipeg. From there, they were pushed to the west by the Cheyenne. Both the Crow and the Cheyenne were pushed farther west by the Lakota, who took over the territory west of the Missouri River, reaching past the Black Hills of South Dakota to the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming and Montana. The Cheyenne eventually became allies of the Lakota, as they sought to expel European Americans from the area. The Crow remained bitter enemies of both the Sioux and Cheyenne. The Crow were generally friendly with the whites. Voyage dans l'intérieur de l'Amérique du Nord, exécuté pendant les années 1832-34.
