Today the horse remains extremely important to Plains Indian life. The Crow Fair, for instance, held during mid-August at Crow Agency, Montana, speaks to the continued centrality of the horse to Native life and culture. The event attracts skilled Native horsemen and horsewomen from as far away as Pine Ridge in South Dakota to Fort Hall in Idaho and includes competitions in sprint races, team roping, and women’s calf roping. Without a doubt, however, the horses are the main attraction at Crow Fair. They debut with great pageantry in finest dress, adorned with elaborately beaded masks and accoutrements. Plains tribes continue to manage their own herds today and also help to protect wild horses, symbols of Native pride, healing, and spiritual wealth.
