No. In fact no Native Americans believed in demons prior to Columbus. Today, many of us still do not believe in demons, devils or the like.

What is a coup stick?

Counting coup was a battle practice of Native Americans of the Great Plains. A nonviolent demonstration of bravery, it consisted of touching an enemy warrior, with the hand or with a coup stick, then running away unharmed. Risk of injury or death was involved, should the other warrior respond violently. The phrase "counting coup" can also refer to the recounting of stories about battle exploits. It can also involve stealing items from the enemy. The term is of French origin from the verb couper, which means literally to cut, hit or strike. The expression can be seen as referring to "counting strikes". Coups were recorded by notches in the coup stick, or by feathers in the headdress of a warrior who was rewarded with feathers for an act of bravery. Counting coup was referred to in the Star Trek: The Next Generation first season episode, "Code of Honor".
