Plenty Coups was the last traditional chief of the
Crow Tribe and a visionary leader. Plenty Coups
experienced a vision when he was very young that non-Native American people would
ultimately take control of his homeland. He allied the Crow with the whites
when the war for the West was being fought.
One of his famous quotes is: "Education is your greatest weapon.
With education you are the white man's equal, without education you are his
victim and so shall remain all of your lives. Study, learn, help one another
always. Remember there is only poverty and misery in idleness and dreams – but
in work there is self-respect and independence."
