Why The Name Red Men?
   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.

   They kept the customs and terminology of Native
Americans as a basic part of the fraternity. Some of the
words and terms may sound strange, but they soon
become a familiar part of the language for every member.

   The Improved Order of Red Men is similar in many ways
to other major fraternal organizations in the United State.
