Crow Indians around 1870. Woodland Indians, mentioned among others by Karl May.
The proper name as Apsáalooke, Absarokee, Absaroka, Upsaroka, Absaraka (and other spelling variants) referred in their language to a crow-like bird that had already died out before first contact with white fur trappers. Hence they were called Corbeaux by the French and Crow by the British and later Americans. In German they were formerly also called Crow Indians (e.g. in Karl May). Among themselves, the individual members of the tribe also refer to themselves simply as Biiluuke ("Our Side").
