Joe Medicine Crow shares advice to young Indians on “Living in Two Worlds”

Dr. Joe Medicine Crow explains how by engaging in both cultures that were around him growing up, he was able to survive the reservation times in his childhood while keeping the spirit of the old tribal ways alive. Dr. Medicine Crow gives some interesting details on how the All American Indian Days — which were held in Sheridan, Wyoming between 1952 and 1984 — contributed to the revival of many traditional practices and crafts. He encourages today’s young Indians to honor the traditional tribal ways through current Indian Days and Pow Wows.
