Indigenous elder.
The late Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Senator and Elder Melvin Littlecrow was born on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation in 1942. As a child, he learned how to work with horses from his grandfather Chief Harry Littlecrow, which became a lifelong passion for him. Before his passing in 2021, he generously shared rich oral histories of the community’s work with horses and Pion-Era.
