Among the Indians there have been no written; laws. Customs handed down from generation to generation; have been the only laws to guide them.Every one might act; different from what was considered right did he chose; to do so, but such acts would bring upon him the censure; of the Nation.... This fear of the Nation's censure as; a mighty band, binding all in one social honorable compact. Tecumseh Shawnee; Shenandoah Valley
