He became the tribe\u2019s last war chief in recognition of heroic actions while fighting for the U.S. Army during World War II. Medicine Crow was a tribal historian for the Aps\u00e1alooke (Crow) Nation for more than 50 years, publishing seminal and influential works about Native American history and culture.<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s fitting that the late USC alumnus now has a prominent and lasting place in his alma mater\u2019s history after university leaders announced the naming of the Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow Center for International and Public Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Medicine Crow completed his master\u2019s degree in anthropology at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences while on scholarship in 1939 and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.usc.edu\/1457\/Honorary-Degree-Recipients-Wallis-Annenberg-Mary-Ellen-Avery-and-Joseph-Medicine-Crow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">received an honorary doctorate<\/a>\u00a0in 2003 \u2014 one of four honorary doctorates awarded throughout his life. He\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/nation\/joseph-medicine-crow-last-crow-tribe-war-chief-dies-at-102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">died in April 2016<\/a>\u00a0at age 102.<\/p>\n<p>A scholarship made it possible for Medicine Crow to attend USC Dornsife as a graduate student. USC President Carol L. Folt plans to pay his legacy forward with a scholarship program for Native American students in his name that represents the principles echoed in this recognition today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Joseph Medicine Crow was an ambassador and bridge builder who used education to create intercultural understanding and promote collaboration between peoples and communities,\u201d Folt said. \u201cLikewise, this building is an important nexus of interdisciplinary study that unites people across differences. Naming the building \u2014 and establishing a scholarship program \u2014 in his honor pays tribute to his life and legacy and ensures future generations of students have the opportunity to learn his remarkable story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located in the heart of the University Park Campus, the historic building has been home to programs in anthropology, art history, international relations, political science, globalization and applied social sciences. Its tower bears one of USC\u2019s most visible landmarks, the stylized globe.<\/p>\n<h2>An exceptional scholar and heroic military service member<\/h2>\n<p>Born in October 1913 on the Crow Reservation in Montana, Medicine Crow grew up under the tutelage of his grandparents as part of the Whistling Water clan.<\/p>\n<p>In 1938, Medicine Crow came to USC Dornsife on scholarship and earned his master\u2019s in anthropology in 1939.<\/p>\n<p>By the early 1940s, Medicine Crow had completed his coursework toward a doctorate at USC when he was called to serve in World War II. While serving in the U.S. Army\u2019s 103rd Infantry Division, he\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lib.lbhc.edu\/about-the-crow-people\/chiefs-and-leaders\/chief-medicine-crow.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">completed four feats<\/a>\u00a0necessary to be named the last Aps\u00e1alooke (Crow) war chief: touching an enemy soldier, disarming an enemy soldier, leading a successful war party and capturing an enemy\u2019s horse.<\/p>\n<p>When Barack Obama became president of the United States, Medicine Crow told him, \u201cWhen you move into the White House, I\u2019m going to come there and sing an honor song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In August 2009, he did just that after Obama\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/nativevoices\/timeline\/598.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">honored Medicine Crow<\/a>\u00a0with the nation\u2019s highest civilian honor, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.usc.edu\/27209\/Medal-of-Freedom-Goes-to-Medicine-Crow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Presidential Medal of Freedom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After World War II, Medicine Crow became tribal historian for the Aps\u00e1alooke (Crow) Tribal Council and documented his people\u2019s traditions and daily life. He was widely recognized as the last person to have heard accounts of the Battle of Little Bighorn directly from participants in the 1876 conflict. A gifted storyteller, he was revered as one of the most important carriers of his people\u2019s oral history.<\/p>\n<p>Medicine Crow is a model for USC as it begins the important work of establishing corrective, redemptive and restorative relationships with local Indigenous communities, on and off campus.<\/p>\n<p>The Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow Center for International and Public Affairs was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.president.usc.edu\/a-message-to-the-usc-community-from-president-folt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously named<\/a>\u00a0for former USC President Rufus von KleinSmid. University leaders are planning a dedication ceremony to celebrate the building\u2019s new name in spring 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.usc.edu\/194727\/joseph-medicine-crow-building\/\"
