On June 29, a sunny, Sunday morning in Crow Agency, the annual Ultimate Warrior contest was held. The event consists of modern day warriors from tribes across the country running, canoing the Little Big Horn River and riding 3 different horses bareback for six miles wearing a breachcloth and moccasins.
The finish to the event was at the Edison Real Bird rodeo grounds and approximately 2000 spectators were on hand early in the morning to cheer home their warriors.
The winner of the event this year was Narcis Reevis from the Blackfeet tribe. Second place went to Wolfy Real Bird from the Crow Tribe. Real Bird led the race after the river and running portion.
Former Ultimate Warrior Champions Isaiah Good Luck(Crow) and Jamesy Real Bird(Crow) finished 3rd and 5th respectively.
The womens' Ultimate Lady Warrior event was held on Saturday. This event consists of three member teams with each member completing a leg of the run, canoe or horseback. The winning team this year was Pretty Eagle from the Crow Tribe.
