The Crow Tribe of Montana will be represented at the inaugural parade in Washington, D.C., on January 20, 2009.

The Crow Nation of Montana Horse Mounted Unit applied for one of the spots at the parade. About two dozen tribal members will ride paint horses single file for the event.

The tribe adopted president-elect Barack Obama in May, giving him a name that translates as "One who helps all the people across the land."
