Black Hawk Lodge
Maheengun Lodge was originally chartered in 1938 to the Saukee Area Council located in Quincy, Illinois. The totem of Maheengun Lodge was the wolf. In 1994, Saukee Area Council merged with Southeastern Iowa council to form Mississippi Valley Council. In 1995, the two lodges (Maheengun Lodge and Silver Tomahawk Lodge) merged and became Ka-Ti Mississippi Lodge. In 1997, the lodges were "un-merged" and Maheengun Lodge and Silver Tomahawk Lodge were recharted. In 2000, the lodges were told that the council would only receive one lodge charter for the year 2003. Maheengun Lodge and Silver Tomahawk merged to form Black Hawk Lodge with two chapters, Maheengun Chapter and Silver Tomahawk Chapter.

Famous quotes containing the words black, hawk and/or lodge:
“A boy not beautiful, nor good, nor clever,
A black cloud full of storms too hot for keeping,
A sword beneath his mother’s heart— yet never
Woman bewept her babe as this is weeping.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“The hawk is aerial brother of the wave which he sails over and surveys, those his perfect air-inflated wings answering to the elemental unfledged pinions of the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Vices may be said to await us along the course of our lives like hosts with whom we lodge successively on a journey; and I doubt that experience would cause us to avoid them, if we could travel the same road twice.”
