Virtual Crow Language Weekend 

The Crow Language Consortium hosted the first Virtual Crow Language Weekend of 2021 February 27–28! Dozens of Crow learners from Montana and across the United States used this virtual opportunity to improve their Crow speaking skills. Over the course of two days, participants practiced vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Thank you to the Crow instructors Velma Pease, Roanne Hill, and everyone who participated in this language weekend! We hope you continue to practice what you learned and will join us at future Crow language learning events. Ahóoh!
