Joe Medicine Crow, the respected historian of
Montana's Crow Tribe and the last surviving Plains Indian war chief,
died Sunday at age 102, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said.
Big Horn County coroner Terry Bullis confirmed Medicine Crow's death in a hospice facility in Billings, NBC station KULR reported. Bullis gave no further details.
Medicine Crow, who lived most of his life on the Crow Reservation near
Lodge Grass, Montana, and famously wore his war paint beneath his World
War II uniform, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from
President Barack Obama in 2009.
