The horns are given to fight, and the shield to ward off. In 

 these, we symbolize that we are ready for all manner of trial. 



Our war -cry is ''How Kola! How Kola! How Kola! 

 Shunka meneetu Yaooooooo!" (which is the "Hail I Brother," 

 and the wolf, and the howl of the wolf). 



Our sign is the closed hand held up, with little finger and 

 thumb out as horns; and raising the hand, so held palm

 and a sign that we are of the Brotherhood. Some also in 

 salute add the word "How,'' or "Haw." 



THE LAWS 



1. Obedience. Obedience is the foundation of all law; 



therefore, at all times; obey the law and the Chief 

 and the Council of your Tribe, without evil-speaking 

 or resentment or delay. 



2. Courage. The greatest of all gifts is courage, and the 



meanest of faults is fear. In the words of Quonab, 

 "My father taught me there is nothing that can

3. Cleanliness. There is no strength without cleanliness.
