Joe Medicine Crow (1913-2016)
Joe Medicine Crow cemented his name in history as he waged war against the Nazis during the second world war. During the war, he wore his war paints – two red stripes on his arm and a yellow-painted eagle feather under his helmet, the eagle which was a sacred mark. He was successful in capturing an enemy’s weapon, touching an enemy without hurting or killing them, taking an enemy’s horse, and lead out a war party. He died at 102 years old.
