Crow Tribe of Indians

The Crow Nation, in collaboration with Little Big Horn College (LBHC,) will create metadata and digitize 178 deteriorating and outdated audiovisual objects and place them online via the Content Management System, Mukurtu. The two-year project addresses community needs centered around the preservation and revitalization of Crow culture, including maintaining important cultural traits and historical events that might otherwise be lost without digital preservation. The intended outcomes for audience members include greater access to cultural resources and a greater appreciation of Crow across the reservation and beyond as measured through increased usage of digitized materials via Mukurtu and virtual displays. Importantly, the project will provide outreach and access to materials in a variety of formats such as external hard drives and DVDs for outlying reservation districts such like Pryor and Wyola, which lack or have inadequate Internet connection that hinders accessing digitized audiovisual materials.
