Boggess is known for his knowledge of Crow tradition. His work on two recent high-profile issues -- drilling in Weatherman Draw and protection of Pompeys Pillar -- also drew praise. Boggess helped lead the fight against the drilling proposal. After a year of negotiations, Anschutz Exploration Co. decided to drop the project. Get the Story:
