When the Little Bighorn College Rams step onto their home court Thursday for a game against Dawson Community College of Glendive, they will have claimed four victories so far this season. They'll also have more than two months of their roughly four-month-long schedule behind them.

Claiming that fifth win -- no matter how the team's wins and losses compare come late February --  would prove significant for LBHC, which got its basketball program started just last year under the direction of head coach Gordon Real Bird.

Children sit around the fireplace, listening to a storyteller weave a tale. A college student—ready to start work on a term paper—searches rows of book shelves. On the periphery, a couple of teens update Myspace pages. Little Big Horn College administrators take care of business on the second floor, and below them the college archives hold the history of the Apsaalooke, the region and more.   

This is the vision librarian Tim Bernardis has for the $7 million library center that is being built a stone’s throw from the school’s administration building.

A manger scene staged at Crow Agency's Apsaalooke Center during the tribe's annual senior citizens dinner featured a baby Jesus, played by four-month-old Lucia Real Bird. Lucia was wrapped in a cradle board made by her grandmother Birdie Real Bird. The wise men and Joseph donned head dresses and buckskin suits for the occasion. Mother Mary wore an elk tooth dress and the shepherds were cloaked in wool, Hudson Bay coats. Heywood Big Day III, pictured fourth from the left and playing Joseph, contributed this photo.
