WARRIOR'S CHALLENGE
26"H x 18"W x 13"D

    A warrior's preparations for battle entailed                  more than getting his horse and wepons

   ready to fight the enemy.  Whether a

   war party against the Whiteman or another

   tribe, a warrior had his own way to prepare. 

   Some in the war party would smoke the

   sacred pipe, paint symbols that had mystical

   powers on their bodies and horses, dress in

   their finest regalia with coup feather, and a

   "medicine" shield, and pray for the Great

   Spirit to give them strength and victory.  The            leader of the war party would confront

   their enemy by riding back and forth

   shouting, taunting and challenging them.

   This challenge was important for the

   other braves to see and give courage

   and a vision of the coming victory.
