Why were the warriors so important in Indian society?

The Warriors in the Native American Society were extremely important because they would go out, some times for weeks at a time, and hunt for the tribe. With out fit men to hunt, the tribe would starve. And because many Native Americans' food source was the buffalo, the men would hunt the buffalo, instead of the entire tribe relocating to follow the herds. The women, on the other hand, were important in agriculture and spiritual advising while the men were gone.
