Our culture is about Understanding The connections with nature and connections with our own People and all others for Unity. We were a self sustained People who took only what was needed to live. Going back to our Culture Does not mean going back to live in tipis and moose hide loin cloths and running around eating leaves. It's about being connected to what created us to help protect the vulnerable and weak. We sit in circles because we don't Justify materialized possessions as Being rich, we don't Idolize one being Greater than the other. Our Ancestors walked this land. They prayed over this land to provide for us, the future generations to carry forward the wisdom of this land and its beneficial Lessons of survival and sustainable Resources from clean rivers to Healing Leaves , barks,Roots. Our Traditional Crafts are Precious lessons on patience and Discipline and Determination,Endurance to finish. We smudge with fungus and Plants That are proven to be healing In the smoke it's creates. We believe in a Creator Yes, But we also believe in a day All nations will Gather in unity as the red nation was ripped away from the mother land and separated out of fear that we will gain knowledge and grow in numbers.. when I say bring back our songs, bring back the circles, Build the Arbour to bring back our dances for the children to learn. Teach the lessons of Crafts and Artwork, explain the impact of Residential school on your own Family and the impact on the community be Brutally Honest even if it hurts. We as people Need to heal from the Abuse our mothers,Fathers, Grandparents their grandparents and older generations endured. Their prayers are why we are still here fighting for our rights,Fighting for our voices they silenced, growing our hair they cut. OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT HOW WE ARE TREATED EVERYWHERE. WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.Ill still smudge for you all to the join the circle of YOUR people

Medicine Crow, born around 1848 in the area of the Musselshell, member of the New Made Lodge Acirārī’o clan and of the Lumpwood warrior society. According to his grandson, tribal historian and storyteller Joe Medicine Crow, Medicine Crow’s father, a prominent headman, was called Jointed Together and his mother was One Buffalo Calf. He wasn’t yet born when his father died, probably in the smallpox epidemic; his mother later married the noted medicine man Look At The Bulls P***s (better known as Sees The Living Bull or Bull Goes Hunting), who became an important figure in Medicine Crow’s youth. It is said that he looked for a vision at least three times; the fourth time, when he was eighteen, he fasted for 4 days and 3 nights; the fourth night, he had the vision of a white man who told him that he came from the land of the rising sun, and that many others like were coming to the Crow land and take possession of it. He then advised Medicine Crow of not opposing the newcomers, the White Eyes, and exhorted him to “deal with them wisely, and all would have turned out all right”. It is said that in other visions Medicine Crow foresaw the passing away of the buffalo, the building of the Big Horn Southern Railroad (“something black with round legs puffing smoke and pulling boxlike objects behind it”) and of planes (“wagons flying in the sky”). His medicine were the hawk and the eagle (even if, according to some reports, he had to “borrow” them, as he didn’t manage to get them in a personal vision).
He joined his first war party at 15 and, for the following nineteen years, he got the honors required to obtain chieftainship. He is said to have counted 3 first coups, wrestled away 5 weapons from an enemy, stolen 2 horses cutting the halter rope, and commanded 10 successful war parties. In tribal warfare, he made his most famous exploits against the Lakotas (sometimes together with his friend, River Crow Two Leggings): in 1874, he and his party annihilated 7 Lakotas entrenched in a deep washout; the Lakotas had already killed several Crows when Medicine Crow jumped with his horse in the washout, panicking the enemies who fled and were quickly dispatched.
In 1876, Medicine Crow, together with other 176 Crows joined general George Crook’s troops and fought in the Battle of the Rosebud (according to Joe Medicine Crow, it was Medicine Crow to “carry the pipe” for the Crow scouts, while Plenty Coups told Frank Linderman that he himself led the Crow warriors – Alligator Stands Up). Lt. John Bourke thus remembered the Crow leader “…Medicine Crow, the Crow chief, looked like a devil in his war bonnet of feathers, furs and buffalo horns”.
In 1877 Medicine Crow joined again the US troops in the fights against the Nez Percés. During a battle, a Nez Percé challenged him to combat and shot Medicine Crow’s horse under him. Medicine Crow went on his charge, jumping from side to side until he pounced on the Nez Percé, wrestling his weapon away from him and then allowing him to re join his comrades (Crow used to be allies of the Nez Percés).
In 1880 Medicine Crow, together with a delegation composed of other five tribesmen went to Washington, D.C. to discuss settlements in the Crow agency, the selling of Crow lands and the eventual division of the land into individual farms. Medicine Crow later settled in Lodge Grass Creek, taking up farming and playing an important role during the 1887 Sword Bearer incident when, together with Pretty Eagle and Plenty Coups, he managed to keep the tribe united. During the early 1900s, he opposed firmly the selling of the Crow lands and in 1890 he was appointed as tribal judge.
Medicine Crow died in 1920 and is buried on the Valley of Chieftains (in the Little Big Horn area). He is said to have taken 6 wives; from the last one, Medicine Sheep, he had 4 sons (Cassie, Hugh, Leo and Chester). Leo Medicine Crow fathered Chief Joseph Medicine Crow, who’s now 96 and considered one of the official tribal historians.
