A survivor of Mohawk Residential School in Brantford, Ontario. Crow was very proud to be a Munsee-Delaware Nation member and extended a helping hand whenever he could.  A skilled journeyman, Crow put his hands to work in many community buildings and projects.  While on Council he believed every member’s voice and needs were important.  There is so much to share, not enough paper, but as we gather, we are sure lots of laughs and stories will be shared.
