Crow tribe tale and Colorow tale from the plains
A rugged oral tradition recounts Crow and Ute tales of hunting, hunger and a spirit figure Sakawarte guiding two blind men to regain sight through Stillwater and buffalo hunting. The piece also notes Colorow the Ute chief at Fort Duchesne teaching about rifles and Elder authority, plus Chemawa School bears at Salem and local Indian agency remarks.
