A lot of these kidshave never even lifted weights or explored their real potenial. 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 coac Joe Forchtnr 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 te 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 Cach 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 Soldier 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 ipale 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 w 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 Coac Forchtner.  You could tel these guys loved it. Here were these big, strong, tough macho guys with tears of pride welling in their eyes. It as omething to ee. <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 Nw54ԩ~㫊>5MH<ɝ8u|U+Dyh.JRI%pNaEBXI朋 yCEd\$;-#3>iw xD=Ex鸻iIY2c>8`*Υ+u8өhzs^n,KG{oMilnފ+,Lc\,k?  4ۉf$a'(,OwP=OXaoѤUkVL._$nQEpTjZngTI_˽b≦]GQ^[JNRW(YE)w*1;{(:GC͆ƞgL\ױjFDݧ$0;otchcɩ]B1!G5Ǜ(zy%tLUsծa3?}jBl ۵0l,HWw9C$vL$jb1n!`UIczqT_5Cq!D^=h志$O*3P?ᮒASMQ>Xs@>\ vR}(vONϕ).Ĺ0P U-wuRlT*jO4FTGSGMƅ^Ɣ.:ʝ| >Qy"2FOC[whq:ԟGj}DsڧY,ͩg36}ϭYі99V40 ye%qݔRNWTZX~I7q0<GuG,48?12Jd'8jH;+K[Ң[
