The Indians fought in respect, hounour and power but mainly survival.
Respect, hounour and power was important because fighting/ hunting was a way in the the warrior socity and a way to gain a wife. The Indoans didnt belive in fighting over land becasue the belived nobody can own it they were owned to the land!
Also the Plain's didnt believe in wasted life there bravey was diffrent to ours, we made every man to fight to the last on standing they, 'ran' becasue they had a family to provide for. The way they ernt respect, hounour and power was through the counting coup, it was almost a game. Men would poke eachother with decorated sticks to gain points! (childish!) It was a way to show your strength and skills with out death.
