Question

Explain the two ways a Plains tribe member could gain social status​

Answer 1

Answer:

Social status was achieved through family associations and through military conquests.

Explanation:

Some families within the trobos had prestige and reputation either through wealth or military conquests. This allowed people born into these families to achieve great social status. When these people married other individuals, these individuals enjoyed the same social status and reputation as their spouses.

Military battles on the other hand, promoted the rise of promising and successful warriors who achieved achievements for their tribe. This also promoted the rise of war heroes to high and distinct social status.
