Dragon Tear Tribe

The Dragon Tear Tribe was formed by Master Scott in the late 1990's.  It had a few different names in the years proceeding that and some different formats.  But the name and format that it is now has been the same for well over a decade.

The Tribe is Master Scott's family.  She isn't a "collector" so her family is small.  To get into it there has to be a firm connection to her.  Now, that could be through one of the other family members, but because you are hooked up to one of her family members does not mean automatic family membership.  She usually takes things very slow and watches.  She is cautious and deliberate when it comes to her family.

Not everyone in Master Scott's family belong to her.  In fact, few do.  They are all connected to her and in some cases may have belonged to her in the past or may have been trained by her and stayed in the family.  Along with that are these folks' partners and a couple of friends.

You can spot the members of the Dragon Tear Tribe, if they are at an event.  They have their Tribe patches on their vests.  The logo of the Tribe was created by a family member several years ago.

Not all of the Tribe members are local.  Because of this they are only able to get everyone assembled in one place a couple of times a year.  One of these times is usually in April at International Ms Leather held in San Francisco. 

When I asked Master Scott what the credo of her family is she looked at me, head tilted, eyebrows raised and said, "If you think I'm going to say respect, honor and integrity you're very wrong.  Whenever I hear people touting that line I always think the same thing....first, gag me and second if they have to tell me all about their honor and integrity, they must not have a lot of it.  If they did, it would be noticed and they wouldn't have to shout it.  My family is about just that, family.  Even if we weren't into leather we would still be chosen family.  Our connections are deeper than leather.  We have deep ties, we have squabbles and we have great times.  We somehow get through life's challenges and we share in life's joys.  We're just family."
