Traditionally, a Crow warrior had to perform four war deeds to become a chief: steal a horse from a rival camp; touch the first enemy to fall in battle; steal a weapon during a hand-to-hand fight; and lead a successful war party. Joseph Medicine Crow, raised on a reservation long after tribal days, became a war chief in an unlikely way: by serving in the U.S. Army during World War II.
