Frank Fools Crow by T. Jay Warren, 1992
Frank Fools Crow was a Lakota Medicine Man, healer, and spiritual leader who lived to be
almost 100 years old. He helped many people by teaching them the traditional ways of the
Lakota people, including ceremonies such as the Sun Dance. He helped one man in particular
who was haunted by nightmares after serving in Vietnam. That man called Frank Fools Crow
"grandfather" even though they weren't related. Any ideas why? As a symbol of
gratitude, that man and his friends made this sculpture honoring Frank Fool's Crow.
