How did Plenty Coups live as a child?

He was raised in the way of a typical young boy with a lot of swimming and running as they traveled from place to place and different camping and hunting areas. Hunting the buffalo was the preferred Indian lifestyle. The young people had to learn to hunt and become physically developed in order to be strong powerful hunters and warriors.

Some of the Crow traditions, such as hand games and arrow games, originated as activities to keep the hunters and warriors physically skillful during the long winters and springs. From: Vincent Goes Ahead, Jr., Museum Interpreter, Vice Chairman of the Crow Tribe
