    The fraternity traces its origins back to 1765 and is descended from the Sons of Liberty. These patriots concealed their identities and worked "underground" to help establish freedom and liberty in the early Colonies. They patterned themselves after the great Iroquois Confederacy and its democratic governing body. Their system, with elected representatives to govern tribal councils, had been in existence for several centuries.

    After the War of 1812 the name was changed to the Society of Red Men and in 1834 to the Improved Order of Red Men

    I must admit I won this at an auction, simply because I liked it. Don’t know much about it either :D
