What is meaning of native American word aho?
Aho' or ahu is originally a word in the Crow language [pronounced ah-hoo'], meaning "many" or "much" and by association, "thanks". In the 19th century it was often translated "plenty" by White Americans, as in the name of Chief "Plenty Coups" - a better translation is "Many War Achievements".This word has passed into the languages of many other tribes (including Kiowa), as a kind of universal "thank you".
Who was the crow tribe leader?
The Crows have been a people separate from their relatives the Hidatsas for perhaps 500 years; it follows that there must have been more than one chief during that time. Moreover the Crows were historically divided into two independent groups: Mountain Crows and River Crows, each with their own chiefs.In 1834 the chief of the River Crows was Rotten Belly and Big Robber was head chief of the Mountain Crows. By 1851 Rottentail had become head chief of the River Crows. Since chief Rottentail did not attend the Fort Laramie treaty in that year, Big Robber was selected by the US government to be head chief of all the Crows - but he died in 1858. Note that this idea of a "tribal head chief" was not a native one, but an idea imposed by the government.Other important chiefs during this period were Two Face, Bear's Head and Long Hair.By the 1860s and 1870s there were many notable and important chiefs including Bull Chief, Iron Bull, Sits in the Middle of the Land, Long Horse, White Calf, Bell Rock, Medicine Raven, Old Crow, Long Elk, Plenty Coups and Pretty Eagle. During the reservation era the government chose Plenty Coups to act as "head chief" of all the Crows, a popular appointment among the tribespeople.More recently Robert Yellowtail was the tribe's elder statesman for more than 50 years. he sadly passed away in 1988. His son Bill Yellowtail was elected to the Montana state senate.

Why did the Crow Indians count coup?
Crow Indians counted coups to demonstrate their bravery in combat. Killing an enemy isn't brave; but, striking an enemy with a coups-stick and living through the event, showed courage. Counting coups was one of four things a warrior had to do to becaome a chief: count coups, take a horse from an enemy, lead a successful raid, and take a weapon from an enemy. The warrior that had done the most of the four qualifiers was head chief. ~ Awe'
