===Gender and kinship system=== The Crow had a [[matrilineal]] system. After marriage, the couple was [[matrilocal]] (the husband moved to the wife's mother's house upon marriage). Women hold a significant role within the tribe. [[Crow kinship]] is a system used to describe and define family members. Identified by [[Lewis Henry Morgan]] in his 1871 work ''Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family'', the Crow system is one of the six major types which he described: [[Eskimo kinship|Eskimo]], [[Hawaiian kinship|Hawaiian]], [[Iroquois kinship|Iroquois]], Crow, [[Omaha kinship|Omaha]], and [[Sudanese kinship|Sudanese]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rácz |first=Péter |last2=Passmore |first2=Sam |last3=Jordan |first3=Fiona M. |date=April 2020 |title=Social Practice and Shared History, Not Social Scale, Structure Cross-Cultural Complexity in Kinship Systems |url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7318210/ |journal=Topics in Cognitive Science |volume=12 |issue=2 |pages=744–765 |doi=10.1111/tops.12430 |issn=1756-8765 |pmc=7318210 |pmid=31165555}}</ref> The Crow historically had a status for male-bodied [[two-spirit]]s, termed ''baté''/''badé'',<ref>[[Robert Lowie|Robert Harry Lowie]], ''Social Life of the Crow Indians'' (1912), page 226</ref> such as [[Osh-Tisch]].<ref name=Roscoe>{{cite book|title=Changing Ones: Third and Fourth Genders in Native North America|author=Will Roscoe|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|year=2000|isbn=978-0-312-22479-0}}</ref><ref>Scott Lauria Morgensen, ''Spaces Between Us: Queer Settler Colonialism and Indigenous Decolonization'' ({{ISBN|1452932727}}, 2011), pages 39-40, quotes Crow historian [[Joe Medicine Crow]] speaking about the treatment of badés and Osh-Tisch by a US government agent.</ref>
