BILLINGS -
Dr. Joe Medicine Crow, the last living Plains Indian war chief, died at the age of 102 on Sunday, family members confirmed.
Medicine Crow was born on October 27, 1913, near Lodge Grass.
The decorated WWII veteran and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom attended the University of Southern California where he earned a degree in anthropology in 1939. He is the first member of the Crow tribe to obtain a master's degree.
In 2015, Billings school officials named the new middle school in the Heights "Medicine Crow Middle School," which is currently under construction on the corner of Bench Boulevard and Barret Road. He also appeared for the ground breaking of the school's construction.
