The Shadow Wolves is a group that patrols the U.S.-Mexico border and is composed of all tribal members.

The 21 members use traditional knowledge to track those who cross the border. They are responsible for 70 percent of the 40,000 to 60,000 pounds of drugs seized.

The Wolves have trained international crews to use the same skills.
