Apsalooke Women and Warriors, Hardcover

The Aps alooke people, often referred to as the Crow, are known for their bravery and artistry, and their rich culture has developed over centuries in the Northern Plains. The Aps alooke Women and Warriors project is a multi-format undertaking that presents a rich narrative of the Aps alooke cultural past, figures the present-day Aps alooke identity, and presents a vision for the future. Through writing, images, and sound, contemporary Aps alooke artists and intellectuals convey the worldview of the Aps alooke people, with each contributor offering a unique perspective.

This book accompanies a multi-site exhibition at the Field Museum and the Neubauer Collegium. It combines images of contemporary and historic Aps alooke cultural items and includes essays by Aps alooke writers. While it works in concert with the exhibition, it also stands alone as a significant exploration of the iconography, lifeways, and cosmologies of the Aps alooke people.

All proceeds from this book will benefit Little Big Horn College in Crow Agency, Montana.
