The Order of Red Men takes pride in preserving "the history, the
customs, and the virtues of the original American people, -a people
conceded by the early travellers and writers to have been
intelligent, brave, and free, loyal in its friendships, generous in
its hospitalities, and with many traits of character worthy of
emulation..." "The primary objects of our Order are to promote
among men the exercise and practice of the true principles of
benevolence and charity, the care and protection of the widows and
orphans of its members, and the cultivation of friendly relations
with those who have entered its circle. The democratic influences
which attended its birth, the idea that all men are equal, are the
tenets of the Order; and what a man is, not what he possesses,
constitutes his claim for recognition among the brotherhood.
Friendship, fraternity, and hospitality are exemplified as cardinal
virtues, and nowhere are hearts brought closer together than around
the council fires of the Red Men...Our Order is a brotherhood of
individuals whose personal characteristics are not sacrificed, but
whose common interests are maintained and strengthened as the
members harmonize around our council fires." Chapters include:
