Excerpt from Hand Book of Tribal Names of Pennsylvania: Together With Signification of Indian Words, Also a History of Great Council of Pennsylvania; With Articles Pertaining to the Improved Order of Red Men
Outside of and in addition to the patriotic, fraternal and charitable beauties of our Order, there is a fascination for Red Men in the imagery and poesy of the thoughts and language of the aboriginal people whose name we have taken. Whose virtues we emulate, and whose traditions and customs form the strue ture on which has been built what is conceded to be the most beautiful ritual extant. It is a natural sequence that Red Men's Tribes and all the branches of the Order should bear names distinguishing them as such.
