Every tribe was different. Taking the Crow tribe as one example, a young man first needed to have accompanied a war party as a kind of servant, horse minder, water carrier and so on (the Crow name for this task means "little toe"), then later he would be permitted to join war parties as a warrior.
Then a man would progress to becoming a scout for a war party (called "wolf" in the Crow language), then a leader of scouts. Later, after achieving at least four confirmed coups, he would become a pipeholder or war party leader ("he who carries the pipe" or "he who owns the war party"). If he earned respect by leading successful raids against enemy tribes he would be made a chief, then perhaps a band chief or even head chief of one of the Crow divisions. If he failed as a war leader he would never rise any higher in rank.
But above all of these, a man needed to have experienced a sacred vision and a spirit helper who would provide him with a war medicine, a war song, a war paint design and even a new name. Without this religious element the man could achieve more coups than anyone else and still be considered a minor warrior without any respect. A man experiencing an important vision might jump straight to the status of chief without going through all the different stages.
