Crow Fair 2007: Morning Parade and Grand Entry

Posted on August 20, 2007 by Nancy Rosoff

As we prepare for the Brooklyn Museum’s tipi exhibition, I am in Billings, Montana attending the 2007 Crow Fair with my colleague Susan Kennedy Zeller. Here are a few images from the morning parade and the Grand Entry to the Powwow which took place on August 17, 2007.
