"While reading the works of the early 20th century photo-historian Edward
S. Curtis, I came across a description of a Mountain Crow warrior named
Medicine Crow. In many ways, Medicine Crow was typical of the Native
American of his day — steadfast and loyal to his people, a contributor
to his tribe. His ‘medicine’ (an object thought to give control over natural
or magical forces) was a hawk, which he wore as part of his headdress.
In battle it was more important for him to touch his enemy — count
coup — than to kill him. Medicine Crow fought for the white man twice,
against the Nez Perce in Chief Joseph’s retreat and against the Sioux
under Sitting Bull when they were seeking sanctuary in Canada. I feel
it’s important for us to remember and to acknowledge Native Americans
like Medicine Crow and to learn about the kind of people upon whom
our nation is founded."
