| | |  | | |  Reputed to be fierce warriors, the Crow were in reality a mobile group of hunters who had developed a strict code of conduct, a deeply spiritual religion and a marked ability to adapt to changing circumstances. But when English settlers landed in North America, diseases killed thousands of tribe members. By the late 1800s they were a minority in their own land and, though they cooperated with the U.S. government, they became part of a plan to turn Indians into Americans through education. Today, several thousand Crow still live in Montana. Though some support themselves through ranching, many face pressure to sell their lands to non-Indians.
