- Before he left to go overseas Joe was told by his grandfather White Man Runs Him that he must perform four war deeds in order to become a war chief. Among them was to kill or capture an enemy soldier in hand to hand combat and capture enemy horses. Upon his arrival back in the states, Joe reported that the deeds had been accomplished and his grandfather and other tribal elders immediately granted him war chief status.
he is actually my great grandpa! i unfortunately didn’t get the chance to meet him before he died, but i feel so lucky that he is my great grandfather !
good stuff bro
seems like he was a great guy to be around
Nice! I've heard that his son (probably your grandpa) did almost the same but he didn't steal horses, just elephants, so he didn't get the warlord title?
@@KijCiWOkoSuko interesting!
but his daughter is my grandma!
Your grandfather was a great man. I grew up in Buffalo, WY at the foot of the Crow’s Home: The Bighorn Mountains. Prayers to your family, a family full of great men and warriors. 🙏
I absolutely love this man. He is a legend among legends.
"Im a famous horse thief
Hahaha"

A man among men. I can only begin to imagine the prejedicious, racism, and abuse this very honorable man was subjected to! Yet, he had the integrity, courage, and conviction to do the right thing to save his fellow soldiers even though his country treated him and his people very poorly. I am astounded and amazed by the stories of these men who rose above the hate projected at them and did the honorable thing although it meant possible death. I salute you sir and I wish I could show you the respect I have for you! Semper fi, JR, CWO, USMC (Retired)
Salute!
Fuck off with your liberal shit making everything about racism
@@069751 triggered nigga
@@069751 And you're a triggered fat neckbeard who always makes everything about "Liberal/Conservative" "Left/Right.". So what? We're just gonna forget and ignore that there was discrimination for minorities back then even though its part of our (dark) history? This shouldn't be about politics, its history! Everyone should learn this as a moral lesson so that it wont be repeated again.Why the disrespect?
I think you would be surprised at how much he is -and was- revered by his peers. Thanks for the race baiting tho (don't believe CNN). ---- Apache descendent in the US Army.
My grandpa fought as a corporal in the 103rd infantry division in the battle of the buldge every single man in his battalion was killed and he was the only one left.
Can I just say, he's so cute. 🥺❤️
You can tell that he loves life and is fun to be around. I’ve heard others talk about meeting him and saying that he was incredibly humble and kind.
Something about his voice screams comfort... Idk if that makes sense.
Hearing him laugh about the dead soldiers is heartwarming
old indigenous men are the most comforting people to be around... miss my great grandfather
@@janzkeeas a adopted native I crave to be near my culture so much but I’d have to leave everything I’ve grown to know
Last War Chief 🙏💪

@@FUBARGunpla ayyyyy say it louder brother!
He was knighted by France and received an honorary doctorate degree. So his full title Sir Dr Warchief Joe Medicine Crow
Its my understandinng that hollywood would fund a story for screen like this
Id watch it and his story in persuing his war chirf status is amazing
The technology available now means that it can be done using AI
The last war chief!
Song still rings true
Amazing!😊
Mr. Joe got his doctor’s degree, was knighted in France, and became the last war chief.
Making him Dr. Sir. War Chief Joe Medicine Crow.
From earlier stories he said he asked his CO if he could steal the horses to keep them from getting killed. The germans were the enemy not the horses so him stealing them saved some of their lifes.
a- ho, a- ho....❤
Aihiy great elder.
But he wasn't a civilian? He was a combat vet and a damn warchief? He deserved more than that.
Hero...Semper Fidelis
Among the legendary men of our time, this Dr. Joe Medicine Crow is among them!
Actually he's also a French knight as well as a war chief so technically it's Dr. Sir. War Chief Joseph Medicine Crow.
This man is the true hero
this man and his story just proves he was a gangster in WWII. the requirements, how he did it, and to walk out of it with not only his life but a chance to speak for his people that. my friends is a gangster in history. may his soul ride as many horses as his heart desires in the afterlife
hes no gangster!hes a WARRIOR! A DIFFERENT BREED OF PEOPLE!
a gangster could never do what he did
he was also awarded the Légion d'honneur by the french
