The members of Spirit Amazon and its younger tribe Amazon Dawn felt the need to create a Code echoing the qualities they thought should be honored by an Amazon. The members of both tribes offered a wide range of suggestions on their respective lists and where later sorted out by Lyssa of Spirit Amazon. Lyssa looked for common threads and put together a list of approximately 20 points to be voted on by both tribes. The members of each tribe put their voices together and the Spirit Amazon Code of Honor was born. When Spirit Amazn announced its disbanding and relocation under new leadership, Amazon Dawn was proclaimed a separate tribe. Since Amazon Dawn was originally created out of Spirit Amazon and its members helped create the Code, the Spirit Amazon Code of Honor will remain mazon Dawn' code of honor.
