Crow Veterans Day luncheon highlights importance of meat distribution on reservation
CROW AGENCY - The Crow Tribe honored veterans with a special luncheon Tuesday in Crow Agency.
The event featured bison and elk meat distributed by tribal bison manager Chaz Bends, who feeds 200 to 300 people during each distribution.
With SNAP benefits recently lapsed, the meat helps keep families fed. Bends is working to grow the tribe's bison herd from just over 300 head back to 1,000 or more to ensure food security for future generations.
