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:
“Every time I embrace a black woman I’m embracing slavery, and when I put my arms around a white woman, well, I’m hugging freedom. The white man forbade me to have the white woman on pain of death.... I will not be free until the day I can have a white woman in my bed.”
—Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
“Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“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.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
