RED WING – “Ahpishshish” Apsaroke – Mountain Crow Tribe – (B. 1858) RED WING was a member of the Piegan Lodge Clan and the Lumpwood Society. He led successful war parties against the enemy Sioux and also served as a US Scout at Fort Custer.” Quotes from The North American Indian: “In stature and in vigor the Apsaroke, or Crows, excelled all other tribes of the Rocky Mountain region, “The Apsaroke were and are the proudest of Indians, and although relatively few, they rarely allied themselves with other tribes for the purpose of defense. This mountain tribe likened itself to a pack of wolves.”
