Answer:
officers must have one-fourth Native American Ancestry
The Shadow Wolves operate under the jurisdiction of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Their primary mission is to track smugglers through the 76 mile stretch of the Tohono O'odlham Nation territory, which runs along the United States-Mexico border in the state of Arizona. This special law enforcement unit was created by an Act of Congress in 1972, following the federal governments agreement to the Tohono O'odlham (Native American) nation's demand that the officers have at least one fourth Native American ancestry. The Shadow Wolves were the first federal law enforcement agency allowed to operate on Tohono Indian Reservation. The unit was originally authorized by Congress to have up to 21 members. The unit was comprised by members of seven Native American tribes, including the Tohono O'odlham, the Navajo, the Sioux, the Lakota, the Yurok, the Kiowa, and the Blackfeet. In 2003, the Shadow Wolves became part of the Department of Homeland Security.
