Pryor Montana
A small community nesting off the hillsides of the beautiful Pryor mountain range. Pryor is the home to some very special people. The history of this little town is not readily available to the public. But I would like to dedicate a page for just this purpose.

Plenty
Coups
(1848-1932),
Native American chief of the
Crow, born near what is now Billings, Mont. Plenty Coups never
fought white settlers, but he did fight other enemies of the Crow
people. Plenty Coups learned English and negotiated in Washington,
D.C., as well as for the Northern Pacific Railroad. In the War for
the Black Hills (1876-77), Plenty Coups offered Indian scouts to
Gen. George Crook to use against the Sioux. In 1883 he claimed
payment on behalf of the Crow for lands that had been given to the
railroads. In 1904 he was made chief of all the Crow. During World
War I, Plenty Coups encouraged his people to enlist in the United
States Army. In 1921 he was asked to participate in a ceremony at
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, Va. He closed the
ceremony by putting his warbonnet on the grave. Plenty Coups' land
and house are now a park and museum dedicated to Crow history in
Montana. He died in 1932 in Pryor, Mont., and the Mountain Crow made
him the last designated tribal

I have been blessed with the opportunity
of knowing Kevin Red Stars and his family. Kevin's brother Wallis Red Star
is a dear old friend who has dedicated his life in building a beautiful
ranch which cradles along side of the Pryor mountains. Kevin is a wonderful
person who has many hopes and dreams for his people.
