Clay Scott

As a child on the Crow Reservation in Montana, Peggy White Well Known Buffalo was taken from her home and sent to Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding schools out of state, and forbidden from speaking her language. As an adult, she has dedicated her life to helping Crow children connect with their history, their culture and their place.
