Recollections
The first item on the agenda for the January 27, 1948 meeting was the Name-Totem of the Lodge. A letter of reply brought back mention of Ta-Tonka-Saba whose totem was an Eagle. The peace-pipe was a symbol of Brotherhood, something that, along with the cheerful service, believed in inherent in the Order. A letter from Marian Sheets, Librarian, Department of Indian Art, and the Denver Art Museum, verified the Chippewa "Eagle" and "Smoking Pipe". With this explanation the name-totem Mi-Gi-Si O-Paw-Gan was again accepted to the Lodge's.
Working with the American Legion Posts, the Lodge would be building a new cabin at Camp Howell. As of January 11, 1949 the following details were available
- Sleep 32 and have a storage space for Arrow equipment
- Screened-in porch and a fire-place Located on either South or Ore Creek
- Cost determined about $5,000 plus.
The first two Saturdays in April 1949 a group of 13 stalwarts moved stone from an old barn basement wall to Camp Howell looking toward the Arrow Cabin project. Distance of barn to Camp -one league or three miles.
