Crow Eagle, Piegan. In ancient times of traditional customs and laws, they were based on customs, especially in their social relations, and these constraints were largely part of their religion. A custom worthy of attention is the intensive use of the pipe. When they lit it, they made it touch earth and put it to heaven in a silent prayer to the spirits. Every significant act of their day was preceded by this rite. Photo taken from volume 6 of the encyclopedia published by Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) on the Indians of North America, with a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt. Between 1907 and 1930, 20 volumes were published.

His visions did not give him great powers, and he was admitted to a secrete tobacco society by Bull Goes Hunting, who gave him his amulet made of a fossil or a coarsely sulptee stone in the form of a two-sided horse. Two Leggings thus became a great warlord. Photo taken from volume 4 of the encyclopedia published by Edward S.
