Chapter Ten - Keta Diablo – Where The Rain is Made
Keta lives in the Midwest portion of the country on six acres of beautiful woodland. Here, she communes
with nature; eagles, owls and loons (the winged version). There's a lovely environmental lake on her
property named after a famous Native American chief, and the locals insist burial grounds from 150 years
ago exist in her woods. Hmm. Maybe it's not always the wind she hears howling at night.
When Keta isn't writing she loves to read and garden and spends far too much time at the local animal
shelter trying to wrangle a way to adopt them all.

THE CHEYENNE DOG SOLDIERS:
Where The Rain is Made
Of all the typical Plains tribes, the Cheyenne were most distinguished for warlike qualities. Few in number,
they overcame or held in check most of the peoples who opposed them, and when the westward movement of
European civilization began, they made more trouble than all the rest combined. In short, they were
preeminently warriors among peoples whose trade was war.
As in other prairie tribes, the warriors of the Cheyenne were organized into societies or orders. These
societies were fraternal, military, and semi-religious organizations with special privileges, duties, and dress, usually
tracing their origin to some mythical culture hero or medicine man. Each society had its own songs and secret
ritual, and exacted certain observances and standards of its members.
Of these organizations, none has played such a part in the history of the Plains as the “Dog Soldiers” of the
Cheyenne.

are to grant favors, not beg them."
