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. The Dog Soldiers 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. 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. 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. 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. We contacted the tribe, recalls Coach Schultz, and explained what we wanted to do. Shawn Little Bea
