The Apsaroke people were situated in the Rocky Mountain region of Yellowstone southward through the black hills, thence westward to the crest of the Wind River mountains, northwestward through Yellowstone park to the site of Helena, thence to the junction of the Mussleshell and the Missouri, and down the latter stream to the mount of Yellowstone.
“In stature and vigor the Apsaroke, or Crows, excelled all other tribes of the Rocky Mountain region, and were surpasses by none in bravery and in devotion to the supernatural forces that gave them strength against their enemies.” -Edward S. Curtis in "The North American Indian"
