My tribe is interesting in that they treated war differently than European countries did. The Crow Tribe along with other Plains Tribes (category of tribes that mine is in) didn’t fight necessarily over territory but more for reputation and courage. The Plains Indians also rarely fought to the death or destroyed each other’s villages. Instead‚ their war customs were mostly just injuring their opponent in battle but without harming him‚ stealing an enemy’s weapon or horse‚ or forcing the other tribe’s

Importance of the Colorado River. The Colorado River is one of the greatest water sources of America‚ providing water for seven states and Mexico.

Disrespect was a major cultural difference. From the beginning of the relationship between Native and European Americans‚ the European Americans(Europeans) repeatedly dishonored the treaties which they agreed to uphold. Usually‚ they established the same treaties they betrayed‚ such as the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1851); which eventually led to the tragic massacre of the Cheyenne Indians at Sand Creek.[1] “The Treaty set forth traditional territorial claims of the tribes as between themselves.” [2]
