Location: Crow Agency Public School
November is Native American Heritage Month, and the teachers at Crow School are excited to share this month’s featured pre-release book, Apsáalooke Isbilaxpáakbaatchaatuua! Discover the inspiring stories of twelve Apsáalooke men and women who honor their heritage while making a difference in their communities. Written in both Crow and English, the book celebrates resilience, perseverance, and the power of role models who integrate tradition, education, and well-being into their lives.

Come cook a delicious meal together and enjoy a wonderful breakfast-for-dinner with us. We can’t wait to share good food and great company!

Laurel Hitchborn, American History teacher at Hardin High School, invited Randall Tall Bull, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, to speak to her history classes. Students explored the significance of the bison, culturally and spiritually, and gained a deeper understanding by seeing and examining parts of the animal up close.
The hands-on experience sparked curiosity and engagement, with students eagerly asking questions and exploring the items on the table. The students truly appreciated having a speaker in their class, making the lesson even more meaningful.
A huge thank you to Randall Tall Bull for sharing knowledge and enriching our students’ learning! Ahóoh
