Etymology
'Absaroka' originates from the Hidatsa language, specifically the word 'Absaroke,' where 'absa' meant 'crow' and 'roke' meant 'people.'
'Absaroke' was adopted into English as 'Absaroka,' referring to both the people and the mountain range named after them.
Initially, it referred specifically to the Crow people, but it has also come to denote the mountain range named in their honor.
