Description
English: Crow Lodge of Twenty-five Buffalo Skins, 1832–33 by George Catlin.


“The Crows, of all the tribes in this region … make the most beautiful lodge … they of tentimes dress the skins of which they are composed almost as white as linen, and beautifully garnish them with porcupine quills, and paint and ornament them in such a variety of ways, as renders them exceedingly picturesque and agreeable to the eye. I have procured a very beautiful one of this description, highly-ornamented, and fringed with scalp-locks, and sufficiently large for forty men to dine under. The poles which support it are about thirty in number, of pine, and all cut in the Rocky Mountains, having been some hundred years, perhaps, in use. This tent, when erected, is about twenty-five feet high, and has a very pleasing effect” (Letters and Notes, vol. 1, pp. 40–44, pl. 20).
