CROW, a Siouan Plains Indian tribe, also known as Absaroka. They formerly lived in the drainage of Yellowstone river and numbered 3,000-4,000. In 1922 there remained 1,800 on their reservation in Montana. Their speech resembles the Hidatsa (q.v.) , from whom their separation is probably not ancient. See Frank B. Linderman, American (Life Story of a Crow Chief, 193o). See Lowie in Anthr. Pap. Am. Nat. Hist., vols. xi., xvi., xxi., xxv. (1913-22).
