How do you say “Crow” in the Crow language?

January 9, 2020 by Pamela Landy

The name for the tribe Crow in their own Siouan language is Absaroke, meaning “crow, sparrowhawk, or bird people.”

The French called these people of the Rocky Mountains gens des corbeaux, from which the English “Crow” is translated.
