Best Answer

Early European explorers considered the Crows to be a relatively small tribe almost entirely surrounded by enemies and constantly at war. The same observation was made several times during the 1800s by white Americans, who did not believe it would be very long before they (the Crows) were exterminated.

Naturally the Crows did survive despite these predictions, mainly as a result of their brave and aggressive warfare against all their enemies.

Their enemies were the Blackfoot group (Blood, Piegan and Blackfoot), the Atsinas (Big Bellies or Gros Ventres), the Assiniboins (Hohe), the Sarci, the Shoshone, the Flatheads (Interior Salish), all the western Lakota (Teton Sioux) tribes, the Cheyenne and the Arapaho.

Allies and friends of the Crows were the Hidatsas (Minnetarees or Gros Ventres of the Missouri) and the Nez Perce across the Rocky Mountains.
