Young People of the Crow Native American Reservation Share Their Stories Through National Geographic Photo Camp

National Geographic gave 15 Apsáalooke youth from the Crow Native American Reservation in Montana the chance to learn photography and writing during National Geographic Photo Camp from June 8-12. The five-day camp, a partnership between the National Geographic Society and the Crow Tribe, brought together photographers, editors and researchers with the reservation's young people to discuss the role visual storytelling can play in preserving the tribe's cultural heritage. The students' work was then displayed in a public exhibition at Little Big Horn Community College. 21st Century Fox expanded its partnership with the National Geographic Society in fall 2015 to create National Geographic Partners, with 27% of all proceeds going toward the Society's grant-making pursuits.
