The book Counting Coup follows the life of Joseph Medicine Crow--his upbringing by his grandparents, schooling, and military. The book also gives a glimpse into the life of a Native American growing up on a reservation, and the traditions and stories of his people. It also tells of the tragic prejudice that exists against Native Americans and the endurance of overcoming. Joseph Medicine Crow was born October 27, 1913. Crow is the name given by the white people, but the tribal name is Absarokee meaning children of the large beaked bird. Joseph Medicine Crow is a member of the Whistling Water Clan, one of 10 clans in the Crow nation. The reservation is in the southeast corner of Montana. The American government established the Crow Reservation in 1884. After Joseph's birth a Sioux Indian was visiting his grandfather and he gave the name of Winter Man to Joseph, it was this name that he would be known by for years by the Crow Nation. Counting coup is a French word meaning to touch the enemy.&nbs
