Shadow Wolves
The "Shadow Wolves" is a unit of Native American trackers. The law enforcement unit is part of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Shadow Wolves's primary task is tracking smugglers through a stretch of the Tohono O'odham Nation territory that runs along the Mexico – United States border in the state of Arizona.〔("Shadow Wolves," ) ''Smithsonian Magazine,'' January 2003, Retrieved March 12, 2007.〕
==History==
The "Shadow Wolves" law enforcement unit was created in 1972 by an Act of Congress, after the U.S. federal government agreed to the Tohono O'odham Nation's demand that the officers have at least one fourth Native American ancestry.〔 The Shadow Wolves became the first federal law enforcement agents allowed to operate on Tohono land.〔
The unit is congressionally authorized to have as many as 21 members but, as of March, 2007, it consisted of only 15 members.〔("In Arizona Desert, Indian Trackers vs. Smugglers," ) ''The New York Times'', March 7, 2007. Retrieved March 12, 2007.〕 Members of the unit come from nine different tribes, including the Tohono O'odham, Navajo, Sioux, Lakota, Blackfeet, Omaha, and Yaqui.〔〔
In 2003, the Shadow Wolves became part of the Department of Homeland Security when ICE was merged into Homeland Security. ICE officials are also considering creating a sister unit of the Shadow Wolves to patrol the Blackfeet reservation in Montana, on the U.S. border with Canada.〔
