Ashalaho

The Ashalaho, or Mountain Crow, were a Crow people of the upper Yellowstone and the Bighorn and Absaroka ranges. They separated from the Awatixa Hidatsa and moved west under their leader No Intestines.

His vision led him to seek sacred tobacco. The Crow hunted bison and grew tobacco for religious use. By the early nineteenth century they formed a largely independent group among the Crow. In 1825 their chief Long Hair joined other Crow leaders in signing a treaty of friendship and trade with the United States.
