For Native Americans, prayer and careful religious observance was an important part of the preparations for war. With the knowledge they were risking their lives, they sought divine assistance. Native Americans usually regarded their warfare as defensive rather than as an exercise for personal glory. While some raids were motivated by revenge, most raids were seen as necessary to protect and preserve the tribe. The Crow warrior depicted in this sculpture is praying for the success, welfare and safe return of his war party from an engagement with the enemy.
