Joe Crow

Before he left to go overseas Joe was told by his grandfather White Man Runs Him that he must perform four war deeds in order to become a war chief. Among them was to kill or capture an enemy soldier in hand to hand combat and capture enemy horses. Upon his arrival back in the states, Joe reported that the deeds had been accomplished and his grandfather and other tribal elders immediately granted him war chief status.
