To the Native Americans, the area was called the "summit of the world" due to the area's unusual elevation; the "River of the Yellow Rock" in reference to the mineral deposits in the earth; and even the "Water That Keeps On Coming Out" describing the great geyser basins. Today we call it Yellowstone and hold it in the same kind of awe and wonder as the ancients did. Surrounded by a number of different tribes including the Crow, Shoshoni, Blackfeet, and Bannock, Yellowstone provided not only bison meat but obsidian, paint pigments, and medicinal minerals to those who would venture into the rarely traveled territory. To these four Crow women, clothed in traditional beaded blankets and standing gracefully against the breathtaking scenery, they are visitors to a place that they hold in a mixture of reverence and fear. A place that is for them, Sacred Ground.
