{"Image ImageDescription": "Justin Sheely | The Sheridan Press A dancer competes during the grand entry powwow Saturday evening during Crow Fair at Crow Agency, Montana. Crow Fair started in 1904 and is currently the largest gathering of Native Americans of the great plains tribes. The week-long celebration includes parades, powwow dance competitions and rodeo. For crow native Alma McCormick of Hardin, Montana, Crow Fair is an important way of preserving the culture of the Apsaalooke \u2013 people of the large-beaked bird \u2013 and acts as a family reunion of sorts for relatives living out of the reservation or out of state. It is also an event where Crow children hear their native language used, \u201cYour language is your culture,\u201d said McCormick, who has a three-year-old granddaughter who\u2019s already showing interest in the dancing. Year after year Crow Fair has imparted the cultural heritage and language of the plains tribes onto the next generation.", "Image Make": "NIKON CORPORATION", "Image Model": "NIKON D4", "Image XResolution": "1", "Image YResolution": "1", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Not Absolute", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2016:08:21 16:18:05", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image Copyright": "THE_SHERIDAN_PRESS", "Image ExifOffset": "1204", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/1000", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Aperture Priority", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "160", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0230", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2016:08:20 19:17:59", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2016:08:20 19:17:59", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF ApertureValue": "24361/8200", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "-1/3", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF LightSource": "Unknown", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire", "EXIF FocalLength": "105", "EXIF SubSecTime": "90", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "9", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "90", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF SensingMethod": "One-chip color area", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Auto Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF DigitalZoomRatio": "1", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF GainControl": "None", "EXIF Contrast": "Normal", "EXIF Saturation": "Normal", "EXIF Sharpness": "Normal", "EXIF SubjectDistanceRange": "0", "EXIF BodySerialNumber": "2038135", "EXIF LensModel": "70.0-200.0 mm f/2.8"}
