ACTION ALERT

"The Greek government views the term "Macedonian" as a geographic term that describes all Greek citizens living in the Macedonian region in northern Greece. The government denies the assertions of the ethnic Macedonians in Greece that they are are a minority group; officials refer to them as "Slavophone Greeks" or "bilinguals." - Human Rights Watch

U.S. "Shadow Wolves" Train Macedonian Border Police PDF Print E-mail

Three officers from the United States Department of Homeland Security Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement will visit Gevgelija May 7-11, 2007, to train Macedonian Border Police Officers in methods used to track persons suspected of smuggling and other illegal activities in border areas.  The training is part of U.S. Embassy support for Macedonia’s efforts to ensure that its borders are secure against the illegal movement of goods and people.

The three female officers are Native Americans (Indians) who work at the Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation in Arizona.  This specialized unit is know as the “Shadow Wolves,” and the officers have developed a reputation for their skillful use of Native American human tracking techniques as a tool for law enforcement and border security.  

Currently, the 13 members of the Shadow Wolves come from the following Indian tribes:  Tohono O’odham; Navajo; Sioux; Kiowa; Lakota; Yurok; and Blackfeet.  In addition to their normal duties of tracking and arresting narcotics smugglers in the Arizona desert, they have trained border officers in several European and Asian countries including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Moldova and Poland.
