Joseph Medicine Crow – Last War Chief of the Crow Nation

Honor the extraordinary legacy of Joseph Medicine Crow—author, historian, warrior, and the last war chief of the Crow Tribe. A decorated WWII U.S. Army scout, Medicine Crow earned the Bronze Star and France’s Légion d’honneur for his bravery in combat. But his greatest battles were fought with knowledge, preserving the history of his people through powerful storytelling and scholarship.

Best known for his work on the Battle of the Little Bighorn and Native American life, Medicine Crow was a bridge between the ancient warrior traditions and the modern world. In 2009, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama.

This design pays tribute to a true cultural guardian, Native hero, and timeless voice of the Plains. Ideal for those who respect Indigenous history, warrior spirit, and ancestral wisdom.
