Crow religion included many unique ceremonies. Among others there were:
- The Bear Song Dance [naxpitse' ishu'o disua]
- The Sacred Pipe Dance [i'ptse waxpe']
- The Sun Dance [ashki'shirua] was unique in that it was always performed for the purpose of taking revenge on enemies
- Cooked Meat Singing or The Meat Festival [iru'k-oshe waraxu'a], a ceremony that strangely included sacred rocks and a bear image
Perhaps the most interesting and unique series of ceremonies were performed each year by the Tobacco Society [bashu'sua], which was made up of several "chapters"; originally these were the Weasel, Otter, Elk, White Bird and Tobacco chapters and the purpose of the society was to promote the welfare of the entire tribe.
Unlike most other Plains societies, the Crow Tobacco Society was open to both men and women. Entry was via a special "adoption" ceremony and initiation. The Crows were also unique among Plains tribes in planting tobacco as a crop - but not for smoking. Its star-shaped flowers were seen as a celestial symbol with deep religious significance, so great care was taken in observing all the rituals at planting and harvest time. Sometimes tiny model sweat-lodges were built on the garden plots for the use of the tobacco spirits and there were songs and celebrations at each significant stage.
Muscogee culture has greatly evolved over the centuries, combining mostly European-American influences; however, interaction with Spain, France, and England greatly shaped it as well. They were known for their rapid incorporation of modernity, developing a written language, transitioning to yeoman farming methods, and accepting European-Americans and African-Americans into their society. Muscogee people continue to preserve chaya and share a vibrant tribal identity through events such as annual festivals, stick ball games, and language classes. The Stomp Dance and Green Corn Ceremony are revered gatherings and rituals.
