Dog soldier

The Dog-Soldiers were a warrior society of the Cheyenne Tribe. They were noted as both highly aggressive and effective combatants. One "tradition" states that in battle they would "pin" themselves to a "chosen" piece of ground, through an unusually long breech-clout "rear-apron", by use of one of three "Sacred Arrows" they would constantly carry into battle.
