Just a little over 100 years ago there lived a proud people whose horsemanship, bravery, cunning leadership and colorful regalia captured the imagination of the world. They lived in harmony with nature. They believed in spiritual forces of the universe as revealed in mystical visions. The fringe on the bow cover and arrow quiver moved in the wind and helped push the warrior along with the force of the wind. Its decorative touches was usually contributed by a loving wife or relative. Chief Plenty Coups of the Crow talked about the need for a warrior to use "both hands and arms together - at once" for the most efficient use of this weapon. When the Indians had these bows and the white man had single - shot rifles, the Indians had superior firepower. They could fire four arrows before the first one reached its mark. |
