HONORS IN WOODCRAFT

These are of two classes: 1st. Coups and Grand Coups, each for a single exploit as listed; and 2nd. Degrees for general proficiency in several branches of a given subject.

Badges for Coups

These are of four kinds, the 1st of red felt for Coup or Low Honor, to which a Wampum Medal is added for Grand Coup or High Honor. These are used chiefly on the clothing, either Council cape, skirt, or sweater.

The Feather for the head-dress repeats, but does not replace these honors. In this the Grand Coup is distinguished by the tuft on top of the feather.

The Feather Badge repeats the honor on the Council Robe, and finally there is

The Target Badge for the skirt. Thus one Coup or Grand Coup may appear in three places, on the Council Robe, on the Council Skirt and on the Head-dress. But only one of these badges is provided out of Tribal funds, the rest must be bought or made by the wearer.

The Badges for a Degree

These are of two kinds. One a Crescent for the dress (usually on the arm). The other the Zuni Coil, for the robe. Both may be used for one exploit as noted above.

These Badges are conferred in Council after application has been made on a properly filled form which sets forth the claim with sufiicient witnesses to prove legally that the test was fairly taken.

The Honor Claim is certified by the Chief or Tally Keeper of the Council conferríng it, and returned to the applicant but record is kept in the Tribal Tally.

None but Chartered Tribes in good standing have power to confer honors.
