About this city
Also known as: Teepee Capital of the World
Crow Agency is a culturally rich, unincorporated tribal community serving as the definitive governmental capital of the Crow Nation, located within Big Horn County in southeastern Montana. Positioned along the scenic Little Bighorn River, the community functions as the immediate administrative center for the sprawling Crow Indian Reservation. Crow Agency holds monumental international historical and military significance as it sits immediately adjacent to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, where the legendary 1876 clash between Lieutenant Colonel Custer's Seventh Cavalry and tribal forces occurred. It serves as a vital repository for Apsáalooke heritage, traditional language, and plains horse culture.
