Crow Fair

Each year Crow Indians gather near the historic Little Big Horn River for horse races, ceremonial dances and other traditional pastimes. To pay tribute to their ancestors, a few Crow wear native dress for the event. CA member Ken Riley, renowned for his authentic portrayals of Native American people, regularly attends the fair to study crafts and costumes. When he spotted some men on horseback against a tepee’s vivid outlines, he instantly felt the presence of the past, a vision he powerfully conveys.
