The Annual Crow Fair Celebration in Montana is one of the largest gatherings of the year for the Apsáalooke Nation, and is considered the largest modern-day, Native American encampment in the Nation. It is deemed the "Tepee Capital of the World" because of approximately twelve hundred to fifteen hundred tepees in the encampment during the week of the celebration.
There are many cultural activities that take place throughout the days of this great celebration. The evening pow-wow grand-entries showcases the beauty of all Tribes in attendance, the different dance styles, and the many other cultural activities that happen during a pow-wow.
A daily parade takes place in the morning to show off traditional bead work, buckskin and leather work, all made especially for the purpose of showing the best each family has to offer.
This celebration also offers an INFR sanctioned All-Indian rodeo. The best Indian-Cowboys in the western United States and their outstanding abilities compete. Pari-muteuel Horse Racing takes place daily as do the very popular Indian-Relay horse races.
The "Dance-Through-Camp" or "Parade Dance" closes the celebration. The tradition is based on the spiritual belief-ways of the Apsáalooke people, and is meant as a prayer for good things for the people of our Crow Tribe, for our future camps, and for the coming year.
The Apsáalooke Nation welcomes visitors from all over the United States and Canada and around the world to attend the annual celebration and to become a part of their large and extended family.
