Abstract
This work provides detail on Crow societies. It is noted that Crow military societies provide for socializing and mutual support among members, and are unusual for lacking a military character. An absence of any religious or esoteric features is also noted. There is information about the origins, traditions, paraphernalia, dance styles, and other special characteristics of each club. Particular attention is given to the Hot Dance participated in by several clubs, and to the clowns' performance.
