In his book, From the Heart of the Crow Country (The Crow Indians' Own Stories), author and anthropologist Joseph Medicine Crow provided this definition on page 2; • In the Hidatsa language, Absarokee means 'Children of the Large-beaked Bird' (absa meaning 'large-beaked bird' and rokee meaning 'children' or offspring). Other Indian tribes called these people the 'Sharp People,' implying that they were as crafty and alert as the bird absa (probably the raven) for which they were named. In referring to them in the hand-sign language, they would simulate the flapping of bird wings in flight. White men interpreted this sign to mean the bird crow and thus called the tribe the 'Crow Indians.' • I recorded this video at the intersection of North Woodward Avenue (Highway 78) and West Grove Street (County Road 420) in the heart of Absarokee. Absarokee is at an elevation of 1,231 metres (4,039 feet) and is located about 100 kilometres (60 miles) southwest of Billings, Montana. • Here's my personal webpage about travel: • http://www.rogerwendell.com/travel.html • 08-13-2012
