Six Actions

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Six Actions (Resol'nare in Mando'a) were the central guidelines to Mandalorian life. They were:

1. Wear armor
2. Speak the language
3. Defend yourself and your family
4. Raise your children as Mandalorians
5. Contribute to the clan's welfare
6. When called to arms by the Mandalore, rally to his cause

Anyone who wanted to be considered Mandalorian had to live these actions daily, and anyone who did was considered Mandalorian. Mandalorians that didn't follow all the acts was considered dar'manda - someone who was ignorant of their heritage. The status of dar'manda was widely feared amongst the Mandalorian society.

During the Mandalorian Wars, anyone - Mandalorian or not - was considered dar'manda from birth until they joined the Mandalorians.
