Crow woman manages Chief Plenty Coups Park


Susan Stewart Medicine Horse is the first Crow tribal member to manage the Chief Plenty Coups State Park in Montana.

Medicine Horse began working only three days before the opening last spring. But already she has made some big changes that she says make the museum more welcoming to children, tribal members and the public.

Medicine Horse plans to keep the community involved as she expands the museum. She is looking for ways to generate revenue for more programs.

Chief Plenty Coups donated his 160-acre home to the state.
