Abstract
The Crow Sun Dance is distinct from the general Plains pattern in both purpose and in practice. It is essentially a prayer or quest for revenge initiated by a single individual, culminating in the involvement of the entire tribe. The author considers it the grandest and most impressive of Crow ceremonies.
