Native Americans 1. Native Americans § Theyendanega § Medicine Crow § Tecumseh Medicine Crow, whose name is more accurately translated as Sacred Raven, was born somewhere in the Musselshell country in 1848. Medicine Crow lived his first fifteen years like his father. As a boy he would hear children’s tales. Then came the reading of warrior’s deeds. Crow got trained to run, swim, wrestle, and hunt. He also learned secrets of nature. Crow dreamed of becoming a warrior and then a chief. As a youth of fifteen, Medicine Crow went on his first war party. He earned no honors but gained valuable experience. In the next nineteen years, he led the strong and often dangerous life of a Plains Indian warrior. For twelve of those years he was a war chief noted for his agility in hand-to-hand combat, his courage, and his dependability as a war party commander who usually brought his men back home not only safely but victoriously. Because of his dreams and the fact that his people saw his seemingly impossible visions come true, he was revered as a visionary medicine man. 2.
