Notes for Pierre Chien: Author's Note: The following passage was taken from the book "From The Heart of Crow Country: The Crow Indians Own Stories." ... A further word about Pierre Chienne. The Crow tribe owes this Frenchman a great deal. He played a very special part in the Fort Laramie treaty of 1868. He was the interpreter for the Crow chief Blackfoot, called Sits in the Middle of the Land by his people. It was stated by Plain Feather, the last great Crow historian, who died in 1970 at the age of one hundred, that Pierre Chienne practically wrote the provisions of the treaty that have served the tribe well to this day. Plain Feather said this man was one white man who spoke the Crow language fluently, without a trace of foreign accent.
