This is how football relates to life, this is how all the work we put in truly paid off: It turned us into men. It made us better in many more ways than we realized at the time. It showed us what hard work can do; we went from being winless to champs in three years. It also showed us that hard work, dedication and a little bit of courage can go a long way, on the football field and in life. people walking around campus in their traditional wear. When I first came for a visit I enjoyed what I saw immediately. You feel special here and the team is really together as a unit. The entire campus is a family. <br> Pete Hahn, quarterback, was interviewed the day after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. He described a Native American ceremony called  smudging on the campus as we spoke.  It s our way to show respect for the losses, for what has happened. The ceremony involves a small pyre of herbs and tobacco that burns throughout the day.<br><br>Heritage and History<br><br> Haskell s history dates back nearly a century. Among the many Native Americans who have passed through its halls is none other than Jim Thorpe.<br> The school began as a boarding school, and by the 1920s and 1930s its football team held quite a respectable reputation, several times becoming the national champions. In the 1950s it became a junior college with JV football. In 1999 the school of just 1,000 was accredited as a four-year university and Haskell s Fightin Indians football team began playing NAIA Division I football.<br>  Haskell is a government school, explains the Fightin Indians new Football Strength, Speed and Conditioning Coordinator, Curtis Schultz.  We are located on Indian land and we are college football s only all-Native American team. 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 sch
