We re also affordable to any Native American with a tribal card we charge just $105 per semester, including room, board and tuition. It s a great opportunity for those who come through our doors. <br> This season, Haskell has revamped its team.  We re almost all freshmen, maybe ten sophomores, a couple juniors and just four seniors, says Coach Schultz.  We ve switched from option to spread this year, and have a new head coach, Graham Snelding. It s a young team, but it is pure untapped potential. A lot of these kids have never even lifted weights or explored their real potential. Many Native Americans mature late, and some of these kids are still growing, putting on size and making strength gains like you wouldn t believe. <br><br>The Dog Soldiers<br><br> In the middle of last summer, assistant coach Joe Forchtner was discussing strategy with his colleagues, putting the finishing touches on the playbook.  We began to think about traditions, like the Nebraska Black Shirts, says Coach Forchtner,  and we realized we needed one as a new rallying point for our defense. <br> Out of the caucus came the Dog Soldiers.  With Head Coach Snelding in his first year at the helm, tradition and respect to the school and the Native American was his first priority, recalls Coach Schultz.<br>  Tse-tschese-staeste is what the Cheyenne people call themselves. The word Cheyenne was believed to come from the French word chien for dog. The French traders called these people this because of the famous Dog Soldiers of the Cheyenne nation. The Dog Soldiers were the elite military organization of the tribe. They were the last line of defense for the people, explains Schultz.<br> The Dog Soldier was held in great regard. The warriors were outfitted with a particular sash, which trailed down to the ground. Each member carried a sacred arrow. During times of battle, a Dog Soldier would impale his sash with his arrow to anchor it to the earth and then stand his ground to the death.<br>  We contacted the tribe, recalls Coach Schultz,  and explained what we wanted to do. Shawn Little Bear told us it would be a great honor, and also warned us that we better know what we were doing, because the title Dog Soldier is coveted and should only be given to a special and chosen few. He helped us induct the first eleven Dog Soldiers.<br> A Dog Soldier came and spoke at the ceremony.  It was very emotional, says Schultz, who had goose bumps handing out the new Dog Soldier jerseys.<br>  It was a great ceremony, says Coach Forchtner.  You could tell these guys loved it. Here were these big, strong, tough macho guys with tears of pride welling in their eyes. It was something to see. <br> The jerseys carry a responsibility, one that each Soldier has to earn.  They must maintain their level of play or lose their Dog Soldier title and relinquish their jersey. If someone hustles or outplays them on the field, the jersey goes to them, says Coach Schultz.  It s taken quite seriously. <br><br>Family and Tradition<br><br> Historically, many NF(j;2ò1tr6Apķ~n36<["B^1TMpU^3{=Ũq;:PvZ,g3J6ِg\AqȻꓦ.񩮍K) 8M 8s1Ro}ȭq798۵dJ'P?~'38&Z McV\jg)1}k7T%FJ̉FtG@^)kЩA,$@EJO-QXPXjYz.BN`'3Wm2ʪ|E. 3Y{wi.TcR 9&Ħ{۵ՎOJ9ua6JHi $xrk+Зը^Y)IZ!ڱw&T$Y]T!H{Pzeވ&:YfJaDI\z"mz 4 rdG k[⹯b 摠>vѲ(l',ػ!1*ip&ry0dr GwlLjF96%_("X h7r?Ն]s&%̥dO\yãbLi^#H9ɑ 3ʛyQYV$" E?\{̷MȻË(D%0d-lOhDZ3E1ȴԖBŅͥz 矩Xt^eʙ x=LJ9bHs Joo/ffCRyL}B>;9!eFEDwNOHV CM-N_TK,0 QB]j֞&dO3O&Dq&%t/'B;t "UvaմKdT |J|R԰`0["@I|}ɀf9T0s$ԶAWݒTK(VlRɼɕAE5|c<`x(L5jgb!Ҵh=% *$#2wbGd-CznS>7O޾d+CzoL*2-2r˰cۻY3SD"QKo Gbn;iY;|10v+)p$ryJ# ٠RJF#ry哉{=4GOtjnQsND̺m7y5m_Kd^o$e8$Sn#DyLvғ*HecšV~lpӍłx "Jқ(&2\`9,bq]&R5͋a/7ʺVSn(CQ^vUEd]r~;9t0ɉ>cxy:5bEeS@ɔjn- UMcw򙱿5k gyL -q{nk4}q-$gw:iS:uvu[T7/cÓw{YOU_T*t&E 5Ղ|UfUj؉.Bx/GgJڞk2Ů]i17`I_ yՉk(]Dk('K^kN$_6ڮ"M8ʈr _ SI[ R.M+x?jk`:'W0q+H CRk buof|Xl~b;Ɗ,X^5|ˌqeQQwA,,SЪ/ɳ$4,'$q@1%ڑVjmŃQ -HQ6t1?ǫ]]Wq1ďHco1o mpLBmeZ+`_.FͶ(2( @K͆V͋Haҹy>hK}O$v{9^snh5tmX!U89ޙg[F(,' "ujN*Ȃ{==ʢ̟R1'mS1! p0ȢJsOmY-RDhs< >m͗MZ[lI1lSjA=v4,j 5nGs")oevYt,pp`2 !* <}@TLh>ҭ[UQe*akQUwJ؞g'~h-oqe2 "nv#fZ7Gسb{7˷YG $.6Nb ) cVIIg ZqTwD[d97X+6xD,ʃ,dm%+*!']5.+w\e\D0r%JݽAv{Aks+
