Imagine a whole nation of people who are experts at riding horses and creating stunning art!
They have lived in the same general area for a very long time, making their home in the Big Horn Basin.
Where Did They Come From?
The Apsáalooke have a long and fascinating story. They used to live further north, near the Yellowstone River, but they moved to their current home in Montana and Wyoming. They were known as fierce warriors and were very good at hunting buffalo, which was a super important food source for them. Their history is full of brave journeys and living in harmony with the wild lands around them.

Living Today!
