AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Crow religious beliefs and practices pervade most aspects of the culture. The quest for visions and dreams assumes paramount importance to the Crow because success in life is directly dependent upon revelations secured in visions. A good deal of information about Crow religion is provided, as well as about supernatural beings, shamans, medicine, eschatology, medicine bundles and other sacred objects, magic, and taboos.
