What languages are spoken by Crow Indians?
The Woodland Cree speak various dialects of the Cree language, including Nīhithawīwin (Woods Cree),Nēhinawēwin (Atikamek), Nehilawewin and Leluwewin (Montagnais) and Iyiyiw-Iyimiwin(North-East Cree). There are several other dialects and all belong to the Algonquian language family.
Were the crow Indians an independent tribe or were they a branch of another larger tribe?
Both. The Crows separated from the Hidatsas at some time long before contact with Europeans, so they derive their language, customs and religious beliefs from the Hidatsas. By the early 1800s they had become a completely independent people, their language had evolved differently from Hidatsa and they had quickly adapted to a purely Plains culture (the Hidatsas were only marginally Plains and lived in semi-permanent earthlodge villages, growing crops and only hunting at certain times). Early explorers noted the general similarities between the Crow and Hidatsa languages and said that the Crows came regularly to the Hidatsa villages to trade with their former relatives. To demonstrate the similarities and differences in their mutual languages (which belong to the Siouan language family), here are a few words in English, Hidatsa and Crow: English...............Hidatsa................Crow black.................sipisa..................shipita bow...................itaduha...............balaxxii horse.................itasuka................chii kill.......................tahe.................dappee tipi.....................ati.....................ashi ten.....................pirika.................pirike, pilake two....................dopa, nuupa.......duupe, nupe white.................ataki..................chia bird....................tsakaka.............apa woman...............mia, wia.............bia The last two words of Hidatsa together make the name given by them to the Shoshone captive known incorrectly today as Sacagawea.

How did the crow Indian tribe communitcate?
Like all Plains tribes the Crow had a wide range of available means for communicating with each other and with others. The Crow language (Apsaalooka alilii) is classed as Siouan but it is only really close to one other - Hidatsa. This is because the Crows separated from the Hidatsa tribe many hundreds of years ago and the two languages are very similar.The Crows used the Plains sign language (bapa'tua in Crow), allowing them to communicate freely with their friends the Nez Perce and with other tribes, as well as with white traders, soldiers and others.War party scouts needed to be able to signal to their friends without making a sound and there were many different ways of doing so. Scouts used blankets, signal fires, movements of their horses and mirrors to indicate enemies close by, an enemy camp in sight, buffalo sighted and so on. Dropping a blanket to the ground indicated a warrior killed. A scout returning to the camp would kick a buffalo "chip" along the ground to indicate he had seen enemies and they had not seen him.When returning to camp after a successful war party the warriors would paint their faces black to indicate enemies killed - the "fires of revenge had burned out". THeir wives and families would see this from far away and would begin to celebrate even before the warriors reached camp.Both the Crow language and Plains sign language are still taught today in Crow schools. See link below for a newspaper article on this subject:
