In case you missed the rally in Crow Agency or you were there and just want to see video footage from the event, the video above -- posted to YouTube by the Obama campaign -- includes excerpts of Obama's speech and people in the crowd.
The New York Times also has footage of a laughter-filled moment during the event when Obama attempted to say "Absaalooke" several times before getting the pronunciation right. (Click here to go to the Times' website and watch the video).
"I'm sorry, you know I'm still working on it," he said. "I
was just adopted into the tribe so I'm still working on my
pronunciations."
The crowd cheered. Obama was adopted in a private ceremony by Hartford
Black Eagle Sr. and his wife Mary just before the rally.
"I like my new name 'Barack Black Eagle,'" he said. "That is a good
name."
The Indian name given to Obama is "Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish" (One
Who Helps People Throughout The Land).
The rally, precluded by powwow
singing and Crow traditional dancing, was distinct from those the campaign
often holds in college and professional sports arena that seat upwards
of 8,000 people. NY Times political reporter Jeff Zeleny had this to
stay about the rally in Crow Country in a post on "The Caucus," a
political blog on the newspaper's website:
As the Democratic presidential campaign has moved from season to season over the last 16 months, the political rallies and the town meetings often have taken on a similar feeling and a familiar flavor.
Not so today, here on the Crow Indian Reservation.
A number of media outlets from The Washington Post to the Los Angeles
Times covered Monday's rally in Crow. Here are some more links
to stories on other websites:
- The Washington Post has a short blog post with a photo of "Barack Black Eagle" being escorted by his new adopted parents, Hartford and Mary Black Eagle. The candidate is also shaking a young supporter's hand.
- And the Los Angeles Times' Andrew Malcolm offers a fun read with a piece on the moment when Chairman Carl Venne explained to Obama the tribal officials wives had gifts for Obama's "wives." When the senator took the microphone, he corrected Venne with an air of humor, saying he only has one wife. "I don't want to get in trouble when I get home," Obama said. "I can have new parents, but no new wives... My wife is spectacular, she really is."
- Closer to home, the Billings Gazette's Becky Shay and Molly Priddy have a pair of articles about the Crow Agency rally.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the tips Jeff! My cousins suggested the same thing, but I've yet to locate a FP in decent shape. Then again 200 RMB isn't all that much when converted to USD. Just don't want to start racking up bikes when one quality unit would do.

Usually, Quicksilver/Roxy makes me think back to 6th grade when all the cool kids were sporting it... but this collection? I just want to snuggle up in those sweaters with a mug of coffee in front of a fire... at least once it's not in the 90's anymore!
