Kangi’yuha, Crow Owner Society Warriors: The Kangi’yuha hold membership in the prominent Crow Owners warrior society. In emulation of their namesake, the Kangi’yuha strive to be the first to strike in battle as the crow is the first to descend upon a fallen warrior. The powerful medicine contained in the stuffed crows these warriors wear into battle are said to guide their arrows in flying straight to their targets. With their Dead Eye Shot and Rapid Sprint special abilities, the Kangi’yuha can deploy quickly to advantageous positions for bringing their highly accurate bow shots to bear.
Crow Owners Society
Cheyenne Dog Soldier: The Dog Soldiers of the Cheyenne are famously aggressive and effective combatants. The most elite among the dog soldiers were even known to stake themselves to a chosen piece of ground using a length of sash fashioned from bison skin and decorated with feathers and beads, refusing to move from the location throughout the duration of a battle. These highly effective melee combatants can be upgraded to wield tomahawks and will punish their enemies in battle.
