Blood Tribe
Blood Tribe is a Nationalist Organization founded in 2021 by former marine and tattoo artist Christopher Pohlhaus, who goes by the nickname Hammer.[1] It is one of the largest Nationalist Organizations in the United States and Canada. Blood Tribe is openly National Socialist and proudly flies the Swastika at their events. Religiously, they are predominantly Neo-Pagan, but have Christians and non-believers in their ranks. They adopt German language terminology, calling chapter heads ‘Jarls’, Pohlhaus ‘König’, and chanting Sieg Heil. The group’s colors are red and black. Unlike Patriot Front and tamer groups, Blood Tribe frequently engages in armed protests, where members openly carry firearms.

Maine Training Compound
In 2022, Hammer purchased over 120 acres of land in Springfield, Maine, in order to set up a compound for members of Blood Tribe. The land would provide a place for members to train physically, and with firearms, and network with one another. Hammer posted videos online showing the progress of the facility. Members who made it to the inner circle initiation would perform a blood ritual — piercing their hand with a Nordic spear, and wiping their blood on the handle of the spear, mingling it with other's blood.
Public Pressure
Hammer faced heavy resistance from the media and aggressive locals, making the project too dangerous to continue. Specifically, once the media (The Bangor Daily News) released the address of his compound, he had a number of individuals drive up to his property "snooping, getting very brazen, even driving up into the clearing." In October 2023, Hammer sold the property.
Aftermath
While Maine did not have any laws against paramilitary organizations — only militias — the incident led Maine to pass a law against paramilitary organizations in April 2024.
