| "While reading
the works of the early 20th century photo-historian Edward S.
Curtis," Judy says, "I came across a description of a Mountain
Crow warrior named Medicine Crow. In many ways, Medicine Crow was
typical of the Native American of his day--steadfast and loyal to his
people, a contributor to his tribe. His 'medicine' (an object
thought to give control over natural or magical forces) was a hawk,
which he wore as part of his headdress. In battle it was more
important for him to touch his enemy--count crop--than to kill
them. Medicine Crow fought for the white man twice against the Nez
Perce in Chief Joseph's retreat and against the Sioux under Sitting Bull
when they were seeking sanctuary in Canada. I feel it's important
for us to remember and to acknowledge Native Americans like Medicine
Crow and to learn about the kind of people upon whom our nation is
founded."
