Excerpt from The Tobacco Society of the Crow Indians Although the Tobacco society loomed large in the. Tribal life Of the Crow, its ceremonial activities probably ranking next to the Sun dance in importance, I am not acquainted with any detailed accounts Of the organization. The only ones I have seen are that by Curtis in The North American Indian, vol. 4, 1909, pp. 61-67, and Simms's paper on the Cultivation Of (medicine Tobacco' by the Crows in the American Anthropologist (n.
