Shawpee Gang

The Shawpee Gang was a criminal organization which was formed in the city of Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine by a Human boy named Falk and the Rodian Doda Bodonawieedo. Falk gathered other youths to form a gang of small-time hoodlums who prowled Mos Eisley's streets, and they were initially content with break-ins, muggings, and fighting with rival gangs.

In time, as they grew older, the Shawpees formed ties with Mos Eisley's criminal underworld and eventually moved into protection rackets, running numbers and spice, and fencing operations. As a minstrel and as Falk's friend, Bodonawieedo himself managed to remain relatively free of criminal activity.

By 0 BBY, Bodonawieedo and Falk left the Shawpees to join crime lord Jabba the Hutt's gang, which was also based on Tatooine. The Shawpee Gang itself also fell in with Jabba's gang at some point preceding the Hutt's death in 4 ABY's Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon.
