Ashalaho

The Ashalahó, or Mountain Crow, were one of the great divisions of the Apsáalooke people. Their name means “where there are many lodges”. They ranged through the mountains and foothills of the upper Yellowstone, from the Absaroka and Bighorn country westward towards the Yellowstone valley. At certain times families from different camps gathered for ceremonies, visits and the autumn bison hunt, renewing ties across their wide homeland.
