The Crow Reservation
Ranching, as known today, was unthinkable to the Native Americans.  Animals were wild and were slaughtered only when needed by the tribe for food, skins, and bladders for holding water.  The men would track and kill the buffalo, while the women’s job was to process the meat and hides.  To use the skin the woman had tediously to  scrape all the scraps of meat from the hide before processing ever began.
