The Crow were primarily hunting people. Crow men hunted deer, elk, and especially buffalo. Some Crow tribes raised corn in their village gardens, but others grew

only tobacco there. Crow women also gathered herbs, fruits, and

other plants to add to their diet.

The way of life was women do work like making bowls blankets clothing and

teepees. Men hunted for animals like buffalo, deer, and elk.

deer antlers for weapons.

The Crow believed in the Crow way, the Sundance, the tobacco

society, Christianity, and religious ceremonies.
