What rituals did the native Americans do before war?
The Sioux had no laws but had a Council instead and they would select from among the tribe people who were quiet and honest to be councilmen or leaders and would make decisions on important issues. This could be anything from murder to war with another tribe and were often dressed in ceremonial clothes. The Sioux Indians had more women than men thus, the males could have more than one wife. One Indian hunter could kill enough buffalo to feed a number of women and children so he would take more wives and provide for them. If one of his wives had a sister without a husband or a husband that had been killed the male Sioux would often take her into his lodging as his wife. The wives prepared the buffalo skins and some would be traded off by the male Sioux for guns. The more wives that a man had the more skins he could prepare and the skins could be traded for valuable things like guns. Sioux Indians had to travel to find food. When a person was too old to keep up with the tribe, she or he was left behind to die. This custom was known as exposure and was considered perfectly normal by the Sioux Indians. As far as family life no other race of people had a deeper love of family than the Sioux Indians. They were very fond of their children and never punished, but talk them great wisdom by letting them make their own mistakes. If children didn't stick to the rulings of the tribe they had a pail of cold water thrown at them. Male children would be disciplined by being denied the right to play war games or attend hunting parties. The Sioux Indians were generally peaceful, used their sharp spears for killing buffalo, but were trained to become "dog soldiers" and used these spears to kill and impale their enemies.
